USS Samuel B. Roberts DE-413
Butler Class Craftsman wooden kit.

On October 25, 1944 the famed Taffy III battle group engaged a superior
Japanese force, in the Southern approaches to Leyte Gulf, Phillipines.
Even though overwhelmingly outgunned  and suffering numerous casualties
including the ROBERTS, HOEL, JOHNSTON, and GAMBIER BAY,
Taffy III forced the Japanese vessels to retire in one of the most heroic,
modern sea battles.

BlueJacket’s model is based upon a design of Mr. Bill Hudson, with revised plans
and instructions by famed WW II modeler and author, Dr. Al Ross. Al has created
a model that is one of the most exquisitely detailed and accurate models ever offered.
The kit contains a basswood hull, cast pewter fittings, laser cut wood parts, and
a great deal of etched brass. The kit is in 1/16" scale, to complement our models of the
U.S.S. KIDD (DD661) and the U.S.S. GAMBIER BAY(CVE 73).

Her length over all is 19 inches. #DC127 - 209.95

With different hull numbers you can build any ship of the class.
