Revell-Monogram Ships 1/500 USS King Plastic Model Kit

Farragut-class Guided Missile Destroyers like the USS King carried surface to air, surface to surface, and anti-submarine warfare missiles to give them kill capability against the entire spectrum of possible threats. Its primary early armament of a Terrier missile battery was intended to swat enemy aircraft out of the sky from far beyond the range of anti-aircraft artillery. In service, the USS King launched search and rescue operations and protected other vessels from air attack off the coast of Vietnam. Kit features display stand, missile system, and ship's boats.
