This is a 1:1 scale of the U.S.S.Johnston
-Fletcher class destroyer-
The ship was most famous for its bold action in the Battle of Samar.The small "tincan" destroyer armed with nothing larger than 5 inch (127mm) guns and torpedoes would lead the attack of a handful of light ships which had inadvertently been left unprotected in the path of a massive Japanese fleet led by battleships and cruisers. It was one of the greatest mismatches ever. Sadly, the ship was sunk.
