Navy Destroyer DD412 Hammann
Item# 31911

Description
The USS Hammann (DD-412) was a Sims class destroyer that was
commissioned in 1939. In 1942, she rescued men from the stricken
aircraft carrier Lexington. However, she may be best known for
her final moments, in the Battle of Midway. Having rescued the
crew of the badly-damaged USS Yorktown aircraft carrier, it
remained alongside to assist with repairs when the ships were
attacked by a Japanese I-168 submarine, the Hammann eventually
taking a torpedo and sinking.

The Tamiya model kit faithfully captures all the details of this
historic ship. Tamiya's designers have taken great care in
researching the archives to bring the avid modeler the most
accurate scale model.
