SSB (N) 'Ethan Allen' Polaris -Launching- Visible Nuclear Submarine (1:200) Original

This is the one you had as a kid. Manufactured in Mineola, NY. Complete, un-assmbled, Collector Kit at a great price with a great box, instructions, and decals. Decal will need extra care before using like coating with Liquid Decal DP127. We sealed this kit on the outside to protect the box, keep the contents in tact, and to travel better when shipped.

The USS Ethan Allen, a ballistic submarine of the Lafayette Class, is one of the largest submarines in the US Navy. Nuclear powered, she went into service on 3 July 1963. Larger and quieter than their predecessors, the 31 vessels of this type each carried 16 Polaris intercontinental missiles with a range of approx. 4,000 km and up to three nuclear explosive devices. The vessel, which is 130 m long, has a displacement dived of 8,250 tons and is powered by a Westinghouse reactor and two steam turbines. The 15,300 hp power plant gives it a speed of 30 knots submerged down to a depth of 300 m. In the mid sixties the submarines received a complete refit. In addition to the essential reactor refuel new weapons guidance systems came aboard and the previous Polaris missiles were upgraded to Poseidon C3 with 10 to 14 warheads each with 40 kt explosive force. Four torpedo tubes for 12 wire-guided MK 48 torpedoes were still available as secondary armament. Between September 1978 and December 1982, 12 vessels were equipped with the Trident C 4. All vessels of the Lafayette Class belong to the Atlantic Fleet, based at Kings Base, Georgia or Holy Loch, Scotland.
