NEW Tamiya 1/700 USS FLETCHER US Navy WW2 Destroyer
The Fletcher class is a class of destroyers built by the United States during World War II. The class was designed in 1939, because of dissatisfaction with the earlier destroyer leader types of the Porter and Somers classes. Some went on to serve during the Korean War and into the Vietnam War.
The United States Navy (USN) commissioned 175 Fletcher-class destroyers between 1942 and 1944, more than any other destroyer class, and the design was generally regarded as highly successful. The Fletchers had a design speed of 38 knots (70 km/h; 44 mph) and a principal armament of five 5-inch (127 mm) guns in single mounts with 10 21-inch (530 mm) torpedo tubes in two quintuple centerline mounts.
