Tamiya 78007 US CVN-65 Enterprise aircraft carrier kit 1:350

Aircraft carrier USS CVN-65 ENTERPRISE

The US aircraft carrier CVN-65 Enterprise, also known as "Big E", was for a long time the world's largest ship and the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It is the eighth ship to bear the name "Enterprise". With the introduction of ever heavier jets, the need for an enormously large aircraft carrier grew. Construction of the mega-ship began on February 4, 1958. The CVN-65 was launched on September 24, 1960.

The waterline is 317 meters long and 40.5 meters high. Propulsion is provided by eight A2W pressurized water core reactors and 4 Westinghouse steam turbines with a total output of 280,000 horsepower. With this power, the carrier can travel 140,000 nautical miles at 36 knots or 400,000 at 20 knots. The construction costs amounted to 450 million dollars. The Enterprise CVN-65 carries 94 aircraft, including the F-14A Tomcat as well as A-7E Corsair II, A-6E Intruder, S-3A Viking, EA-6B Prowler, E-2C Hawk Eye and SH-3H Sea King helicopters.
