USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) is the lead ship of the US Navy's Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers, commissioned in 1991 and named for Admiral Arleigh "31-Knot" Burke, the legendary destroyer commander of WWII. As the first of a class that remains in production today, she introduced the Aegis combat system, phased-array SPY radar and vertical launch missile cells to the US destroyer fleet, combining strong anti-air, anti-submarine and strike capability in a single hull.Dragon's 1/350 kit reproduces the ship's distinctive angular, radar-signature-reducing superstructure and flat-faced Aegis arrays, along with her forward and aft Mk 41 vertical launch system cells, 5-inch gun and close-in weapon systems, all captured with crisp, slide-moulded detail.Photo-etched railings and antennae plus a decal sheet for hull markings are included, letting builders finish an accurate full-hull or waterline model of this modern warship.A must for modern US Navy enthusiasts, this kit lets modellers build the ship that gave her name to an entire class of over seventy destroyers still serving today.
