The displacement at full load is 9,100 tons. The overall length is 172m and the width is 17.60m. Equipped with two GE reactors, it had a maximum speed of 34 knots.
It is equipped with two RIM-2 Terrier Mk.10 missiles, two 3-inch 50-caliber guns, Mk.112 Asrock launchers, etc. It

[About the model]
This is a plastic model assembly kit that reproduces the US Navy's nuclear guided missile cruiser, USS Bainbridge (CGN-25), in 1/600 scale.
This kit is a re-release by Atlantis of a kit released by Aurora in 1965. The distinctively designed hull is modeled with a total length of approximately 280 mm.
The model is a full hull model that reproduces the bottom of the ship. The rudder and screw equipped on the bottom of the ship are also faithfully reproduced.
In addition, a dedicated display stand with a design that evokes nuclear power is also included, and a nameplate is also provided.
Of course, the upper deck structure and environment are accurately represented. Terrier missiles and launchers, as well as the Asrock launcher, are also modeled.
This is a kit that not only ship model fans but also vintage kit fans should take this opportunity to get their hands on.
