Burke Class Destroyer DDG 100 USS Kidd 3D Model

This model is built near to scale. General dimensions are within 1 -5%. Some variation of equipment locations on specific vessels may occur because each ship is built individually and slight variations do occur. Each model is fully textured. Each model has many animateable features including the 5gun, all missile hatches, all radar antenna, propellers and rudders. After Flight deck nets may be lowered for flight operations. A lot of detail went into these models. They are available in several different formats. The Arleigh Burke Class destroyers are the most heavily armed destroyers ever built in the US and the most powerful in the world. These destroyers were designed to replace the Spruance Class D and much of the technology came from the Ticonderoga class Aegis Class Cruisers. The angled sides of the superstructure are part of design to reduce the radar signature of the vessel at sea. The tripod angled mast is also for the same radar signature reduction.
