TRUMPETER

Trumpeter 05762 USS Alabama (BB-60) SCALA 1/700

Trumpeter 05762 USS Alabama (BB-60) 1/700 SCALE. USS Alabama (BB-60) was an American battleship laid down in 1940, launched in February 1942, and commissioned into the United States Navy in August 1942. The ship was 210 m long, 33 m wide, and her full displacement displacement - at the time of launch - 44,500 tons. The maximum speed of the battleship USS Alabama was up to 27.5 knots. The main armament was 9 406 mm guns in three turrets of three guns each, and the secondary armament consisted mainly of 20 127 mm guns. USS Alabama was the fourth and final battleship of the South Dakota class. This type of ship was one of the first modern ships of the United States Navy of the World War II period. During their construction, emphasis was placed on better armor than the North Carolina-class battleships, but with the same main armament and top speed. The power of the engine room was also significantly increased and the torpedo protection of the hull was improved. USS Alabama entered combat operations in World War II in 1943, initially operating as part of the British Home Fleet in the North Atlantic, but from November of that year the ship served in the Pacific. In early 1944, USS Alabama supported Operation Flintlock, that is, the American landings in the Marshall Islands area, and shortly thereafter played a covering role in a carrier squadron whose actions were aimed at the Carolinas. In June 1944, USS Alabama participated very actively in the Battle of the Philippine Sea, operating until November of the same year in the Philippines. In May 1945, the ship once again acted as cover for the high-speed carrier squadron and supported operations on Okinawa and against the remaining islands of the Ryukyu Archipelago. USS Alabama (BB-60) was decommissioned in 1947 and has served as a museum ship since 1964.
