Historia Emporium - The History Store is pleased to announce the return of a highly detailed miniature: the Neptun 2344 USS Newport News (1967) 1:1250 scale model ship. This finely crafted model captures the sleek profile and powerful presence of one of the last all-gun heavy cruisers to serve in the U.S. Navy.
Commissioned in 1949, the USS Newport News (CA-148) was a Des Moines-class heavy cruiser named after the city of Newport News, Virginia. She was the only ship of her class to see active combat, most notably during the Vietnam War. In 1967, the ship provided heavy naval gunfire support, utilizing her formidable 8-inch guns during Operation Sea Dragon and other coastal bombardment missions. Her advanced automatic loading system made her a powerful and efficient warship during an era transitioning to missile-based naval warfare.
This model is perfect for collectors of naval history and enthusiasts of Cold War-era warships. Meticulously cast and painted by Neptun, a renowned name in miniature ship modeling, the NN2344 model is both a tribute to naval engineering and a striking display piece.
