Though designed as Amphibious Command Ship, the adaption of state of the art command and communication systems promoted this ship to the position of fleet flagship -- the LCC-19 Blue Ridge is the command ship of the 7th Fleet. This fine injection plastic kit gives you the options to build it as a full-hull or a waterline model; and Pit-Road has chosen the most recent appearence of this ship (as it was in 2004). There are few enough parts in the kit; but remember that this ship had lots of antennae installed on its flat deck after its refit. Two CIWS are the only weapons for this warship.
