Commissioned in June, 1942, the crew and ship known as the U.S.S. Fletcher DD-445 was highly decorated for military success and bravery. On its first mission at Guadalcanal, she sank two Japanese destroyers and seriously damaged a third. Overall, her WWII service garnered fifteen battle stars and she earned five more during the Korean War.

For the modeler this kit features a detailed deck with movable gun turrets and depth charges, plus optional parts to build either the WWII version or the 1949 conversion with rocket launchers. Also includes decals with optional markings and a colorful flag sheet.  Rated a Skill Level 2 kit, there are some areas that need modification and some sequence changes described in the full review that will really help ease construction.
