USS The Sullivans DD-537 - Historic Destroyer Model

The USS The Sullivans (DD-537) recalls the story of the five Sullivan brothers lost aboard the cruiser Juneau in World War II. Trumpeter's 1:700 rendition brings that ship to the workbench with respect for its history and clear modelling intent.

Timeline and Combat Service

Following its April 4, 1943 launch and commissioning later that year, The Sullivans took part in Pacific operations including plane guard tasks, shore bombardment runs and anti-Kamikaze duty near Okinawa. The vessel earned nine battle stars in World War II and two more during the Korean War.

What the Kit Includes and How to Display

The kit supports either a waterline or a full hull layout. It features 121 plastic parts on seven sprues plus detailed hull pieces, providing a focused build that produces a well-proportioned model suitable for cabinets or dioramas.

Specifications

  • 1:700 scale
  • Model length - 164 mm
  • Model beam - 17 mm
  • Plastic parts total - 121
  • Decal markings - 1945 Measure 22
  • Display options - waterline or full hull
No metal or photo-etch parts are supplied; the kit contains only injection-moulded plastic, so expect to rely on plastic parts or add aftermarket metal details if desired.
The hull proportions and profile are faithful to the class at 1:700, making it a reliable piece for historical displays and fleet compositions.
Yes, the waterline option is designed for sea dioramas. Use a textured acrylic or resin water base and position the hull accordingly for realistic effects.
