History
USS Brooke (FFG-1) was the lead ship of the Brooke-class guided‑missile frigates, a small series built on the Garcia‑class hull to add guided‑missile capability. Designed for convoy escort, anti‑submarine warfare and fleet air‑defense screening during the Cold War, Brooke‑class ships carried a medium‑range surface‑to‑air missile launcher plus ASW weapons (ASROC/torpedoes) and guns. USS Brooke spent her career on Atlantic and worldwide escort, patrol and training duties before being retired from U.S. Navy service in the late 20th century.
Approximate Model Length (assembled)
The typical Brooke‑class length overall is approximately 414.5 ft (about 126.3 m). At 1/350 scale this works out to roughly 14.2 inches (≈36.1 cm).
