Description

This is an injection-plastic ship model kit.


The Stevens was a Fletcher-class destroyer of the United States Navy, named after Rear Admiral Thomas H. Stevens Jr. and his father, Captain Thomas H. Stevens.

The ship was laid down in December 1941, launched in 1942, and commissioned in February 1943. Initially, the Stevens was equipped with an aircraft catapult for seaplane operations, but this proved unsuitable, and the catapult was removed after September 1943, with the ship being converted to a standard configuration.

The Stevens took part in several operations during World War II, including the Battle of Kwajalein in January 1944, the Battle of Hollandia in April 1944, the Battle of Morotai in September 1944, and the Mindanao landings in April 1945. After the war, the ship was decommissioned in July 1946 and stricken from the Pacific Reserve Fleet in December 1972.

The Stevens was awarded nine battle stars for her service during World War II. Comic artist Sam Glanzman, who served aboard the ship during the war, later used his experience as the basis for the graphic novel "A Sailor's Story," which depicts dramatic naval battles and the lives of the sailors aboard the Stevens.
