Operational Story and Model Options

Entering service in 1944, USS Pittsburgh escorted carriers and supported amphibious operations during the Okinawa campaign. After a typhoon incident that cost her bow, she continued service and was credited with two battle stars. This kit records those historical facts and gives builders the option to build a waterline scene or a complete hull model.
