    Yeah she had a tough time of it in the opening days of WWII. She got hit by the bombers at Cavite on Dec 10 when MacArthur was unable to figure out how to operate as a commanding general. She would have been lost then when ordnance in the area started going off but she was towed clear of the dock by the Whippoorwill and the fires put out. Then as Cavite was useless as a repair base she had to make her own way to Darwin where she is still today.

     

    Lack of information on the ABDA ships in those few months is hard to get. I am still finding bits and pieces on the Houston after almost a year of looking and reading.

     

    Thanks for the kit information.

    Great looking build. I have always had a soft spot for the Clemson class and four stackers in general.

     

    A couple of questions though if possible. You said you used the Ward for this build. Which model of the Ford did you use? #2 Why the Peary rather than the Ford or one of the other ABDA ships? 

     

    I would have loved to see a build log on this. Congratulations

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
