Outlet 🔥 US Aircraft Carrier CV-9 Essex 1/350 Trumpeter 🎉

The USS Essex belonged to a powerful class of 27,100-ton aircraft carriers built during the Second World War. Originally commissioned on the final day of 1942, it sailed to the Pacific to take part in combat there. After involvement in various campaigns in the Pacific it was damaged by a Japanese Kamikaze attack in November 1944 off the Philippines. The carrier was able to carry on in combat, and went on to support the vital American landings on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Its final decommissioning occurred in 1969.
