USS CIMARRON
AO-177 naval oilers

USS Cimarron (AO-177) was the lead ship of the Cimarron-class of fleet oilers of the United States Navy. Cimarron was built at the Avondale Shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana.   She was commissioned in 1981 for service in the Pacific Fleet. Total cost for the ship was $136.7 million. Cimarron was decommissioned in 1998.  She is currently moored in Susuin Bay, California, with the National Defense Reserve Fleet.

Like all of our warship models, this USS Cimarron (CVN-70) has the following qualities: - Plank-on-frame, hollow hull construction (very important), weighing less than 10 lbs.  (A solid hull of this model would be over 30 lbs.) - Hollow superstructure comprised of many individual thin pieces of wood glued together, not few blocks stacking on top one another. - Windows are cutouts (not black decals), thanks to the hollow structures. - Light rust appearance to give the ship the battle look. - >95% of parts are wood and metal. Dimensions: 40" L x 13 T x 7 W     $2,500    S & H is $90      sold out
