Superior 1:1200 Scale Great White Fleet
In 1907, President Theodore Roosevelt sent a fleet of 16 battleships on a year and a half cruise around the world on a goodwill tour. The fleet stopped at many ports. The cruise demonstrated that the U.S. was now a major sea and world power with a navy that was capable of operating any place on the globe. The hull of each ship was painted white hence the name , “The Great White Fleet. “
Superior now presents 1:1200 models of the BB’s of this fleet. These are really nice models (about five inches long), Google GWF to pick your superstructure color (From brown to orange).
There are five basic models representing the classes of the sixteen ships in the fleet. A “Collector’s Guide” is provided below for those if you who wish to collect “Ship for Ship” . What a display that would make!
