USS IDAHO SSN-799 1:192 Scale model/replica

PRECISION MADE scale model of the Virginia class, nuclear powered fast attack submarine USS IDAHO. Currently under construction at the Electric Boat Naval Shipyard, in Groton Connecticut with an estimated commissioning Summer 2023. This piece is built with a level of detail and accuracy that submariners operating, and shipyard workers building her can all appreciate. Thank you to Melvin Douyette at www.coldwarsubmarines.com for making these above-and-beyond quality level replicas, with love and detail, honoring 'ustaboat' from many eras with his work. A few words from him on these.

'Some of the reasons mine are so superior is that I served on submarines, I focus on US submarines only and I constantly gather more information from my customers. Some of the information I get is very close to “top secret”. All the other commissioning groups I have built submarines for has given them away. I feel the recipients can’t appreciate the value of the models they receive. They aren’t aware of the detail and accuracy built into each replica.'

This is a museum quality item honoring our US NAVY submarine service fleet, their officers, and crews. Your purchase supports the USS IDAHO Commissioning Foundation. This fund will support many projects above and beyond for crew and family support throughout the life of the boat over many years, with the objective of being the 'gold standard' for subsequent commissioning efforts going forward. Thank you for your support of 'Gem of the Fleet' and her crew.
