Blue Jacket Ship Crafters proudly announces the development of their 1/192 USS Arleigh Burke, DDG-51.

"BlueJacket is proud to announce that our newest kit, in development, is the USS ARLEIGH BURKE, DDG-51. The anticipated release date of this kit is Spring, 2008.

ARLEIGH BURKE is the class leader of our navy’s guided missile destroyer fleet. One of her major innovations is the sophisticated AEGIS radar system. She features a stealthy, modern silhouette and is considered a break-through design.

BlueJacket’s kit is being designed by Dr. Al Ross, with a carved, laminated wood hull, and will feature multi-media materials in the manner of our most recent kits."

Built at the Bath Iron Works, Bath, ME, DDG-51 is 504’ 7” LOA.
BlueJackets' kit will be scaled to 1/16”=1’ (1:192), yielding a model 31.5.”
