1:1 scale replica of America’s Most Decorated ship: the Iowa-class battleship USS New Jersey.
USS New Jersey is an Iowa-class battleship – the ultimate battleships, and the epitome of the gun-armed ships of the line that ruled the sea for almost three centuries. The Iowa-class ships were the last class of American battleships built, and the last battleships in service in the world. They were the largest American battleships, and the longest and fastest of all battleships. They also served over a longer period than any other battleships, from 1943 until 1992.
She is 270 meters long and 33 meters wide, armed with 9 × 16 in (406 mm) 50 cal. Mark 7 guns (8-charge large cannon), 20 × 5 in (127 mm) 38 cal. Mark 12 guns (4-charge large cannon) and 32 × 40 mm 56 cal. anti-aircraft guns (autocannons).
I built her in her WW2 configuration, except for the helipad, which replaced the plane catapults in the first retrofit, the paint scheme is from her first retrofit, her turret roof 40mm AA turrets are not present as in her first retrofit, and she is missing the 20mm AA cannons as in her first retrofit. (the 40mm AA turrets also only have twin guns instead of quad because CBC: Advanced Warfare is incompatible with VS: Addition)
first build btw
