17 mar 2022 · My review of the Veryfire USS Louisiana BB-71 (Montana class) in 1/350 scale.
#FromTheCollection - A few of our fans noticed this ship model in the background of a recent post and asked for more detail. This is a conceptual model of the Montana-class battleship USS LOUISIANA (BB-71). Five of these vessels were planned but never built, with all five were cancelled by July of 1943.
As the US Navy's designers worked on proposals for the new ships, two distinct strains emerged: a comparatively slow, heavily armed and armored variant and a much faster, but lighter-armed and armored vessel that was primarily intended to catch Japanese cruisers and counter the fast Kongō -class battleships.
USS "Louisiana" (BB-71) – pancernik amerykański, którego budowa została anulowana, zanim położono jego stępkę. "Louisiana" została zaplanowana jako pancernik typu Montana i była przeznaczona dla United States Navy. Byłaby czwartym okrętem nazwanym od stanu Luizjana.
