1/700 LCC-20 USS Mount Whitney (Trumpeter)
This is the USS MOUNT WHITNEY (LCC-20) of 196,0 mts. length, 18.000 tons full load. The USS Mount Whitney, a Blue Ridge class command ship, is the flagship of the U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet. She is also the command and control ship for the Commander Joint Command Lisbon and the Commander Striking Force NATO. She had previously served for years as the Second Fleet’s command ship.
Considered by some to be the most sophisticated Command, Control, Communications, Computer, and Intelligence (C4I) ship ever commissioned, Mount Whitney incorporates various elements of the most advanced C4I equipment and gives the embarked Joint Task Force Commander the capability to effectively command all units under his or her command.
The kit length is 28,0 cm. and carried 1 Sikorsky SH-60 Knight Hawk helicopter. I used rails set of Tom's Modelworks and decals.
