Trumpeter 1/200 Scale US Navy USS Stevens DD-479 Fletcher Class Destroyer Model Kit
USS Stevens (DD-479) was one of 175 Fletcher-class destroyers built during World War II. Notable for being one of three ships of its class (along with the USS Pringle and USS Halford) completed in experimental configuration to operate a single OS2U Kingfisher floatplane. The floatplane was intended for reconnaissance and scouting for the destroyer flotilla.
The ship was fitted with a pneumatic aircraft catapult and recovery crane, which required the removal of the aft torpedo tube mount and the No. 3 5-inch gun mount. The experiment quickly proved operationally impractical due to the difficulty of launching and recovering the aircraft from a small destroyer in combat conditions. The program was cancelled in September 1943.
Stevens was subsequently converted back to the standard Fletcher-class configuration, regaining full armament before seeing extensive service in the Pacific.
