My wife served on this ship during her Navy career and I will present the finished model in a display case with command awards and command coin to her on her birthday.

That's a very nice idea for a present 👍👍👍

Ah a Shipmate, I'm in, and I'll second Burkhard - nice idea!

Thanks. I wanted to do something she would remember. My 1st ship in 40 years, I am doing my best not to goon it up.

Completed last night and presented to my wife today. I enjoyed this project. The USS Nassau is next.

Very nice result. How could you hide it during construction phase? 😉

She works nights, I work days. I only broke it out when she was gone. She almost caught me one weekend when she was out with our daughter and came back unexpectedly. I placed it on the island in the kitchen and she saw it when she came home from work last night.
