Brief History
USS Gyatt was a Gearing‑class destroyer converted into the U.S. Navy’s first purpose‑built guided‑missile destroyer. Modified in the 1950s, she carried and tested early shipboard guided‑missile and advanced anti‑submarine systems, serving as a prototype/testbed for tactics and equipment that influenced later destroyer designs. Gyatt conducted fleet trials and operational deployments during the late 1950s and 1960s before being retired from active service.
Model Length (1/350 scale)
The real Gearing‑class overall length is about 390.5 ft. At 1/350 scale this kit measures approximately 13.4 inches long (calculation: 390.5 ft ≈ 4,686 inches; 4,686 ÷ 350 ≈ 13.39 in, rounded to 13.4 in).
