USS PERRY – Fastest Ship in the Navy
The brig USS Perry was considered the “fastest ship in the Navy” when she was launched in 1843 from the Norfolk Navy Yard, probably named after Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry. She had various missions to include diplomatic tensions in Paraguay, blockaded ports during the Mexican American war, suppressed slave trade, and served in the American Civil War.
This kit has a carved basswood hull, photo-etched details, laser-cut parts; full plans and a 40-page instruction manual are included.
