A friend at work asked me to build models of the ships he served on in the Navy. I am looking for ships (all in the same scale, 1/350 or 1/700) CVN75, LHD3, AD and FF. I know I have seen CVN and LHD, but not really sure of any AD's and FF's. Being a treadhead, I have no idea on this. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Closest to the CVN-75 in 350th scale is going to be Trumpeter's CVN-68 circa 1975.
The LHD doesn't exist YET but Academy has a LHD-1 Wasp out later this year.

The AD and FF I'd ned to know more about in terms of the class, but I think he's going to have to dip into resin for the FF. No idea if a resin AD was ever released in 350th but I've never seen one in plastic.
