"No other Navy in the world has a ship anything like this. The Tarawa and her four sister ships...will be the muscle of America's amphibious forces for many years to come," declares Rear Admiral Reuben Rogerson, commanding officer of U.S. Navy Amphibious Forces Eastern Pacific. Twenty stories tall and three football fields long, the Tarawa resembles an aircraft carrier...but instead of fixed-wing aircraft, 30 Marine Corpsassualt helicopters operate from the flight deck. Below the flight and hangar decks lies the Tarawa's unique feature - a "wet deck". A massive door at the ship's stern - 30 feet high, 80 feet wide, and weighing over 90 tons. Includes opening well deck door, propellers and shafts, gun turrets and two Sea Sparrow missile launchers, 2 landing craft with tanks, boat crane and crash crane. Molded in light gray.
