I am still not clear as to why an accurate 1980s/ 90s Long Beach could not have been done. What do people think that Janes Fighting Ships and USN publicity photos are for? And anyway, whenever have detail inaccuracies ever stopped Dragon from releasing a kit? (1/700 Invincible-class CVLs...)

Well, it does make a person wonder why they picked the dates they did.
The 1960's is an overlooked period, so this could point to an effort to expand ships from this period. After all Dragon is releasing the USS Albany, sometime.
