    Brief History

    USS Newport (LST-1179) was the lead ship of the Newport‑class tank landing ships, a late‑Cold War redesign of the traditional WWII‑style LST that replaced bow doors with a long hinged bow ramp supported by distinctive derrick arms. Laid down in the late 1960s and commissioned around 1969, Newport and her sister ships were used for amphibious assault, vehicle and cargo lift, logistics support and training through the 1970s and 1980s. The class saw service worldwide on deployments, exercises and humanitarian missions; Newport herself remained active through the 1980s and was retired in the early 1990s.

    Approximate Model Length (1/350 scale)

    The real Newport's overall length is approximately 522 feet. At 1/350 scale this kit represents an overall model length of about 17.9 inches (≈ 455 mm) (rounded to the nearest tenth).

    Important Notes

    • NOTICE: Model kit does not come with display stand.
    • If product photo is of a completed model, your kit will arrive brand new and unassembled.

    Recommended Books

    No specific books are listed with this kit. For further reference on Newport‑class ships and amphibious warfare design, consider searching naval histories or ship plans covering late‑Cold War U.S. amphibious vessels.

        • How much detail is there on the 35' whip vertial antennas? Does the port bow antenna have a red base indicating that it is a transmit antenna?

          The whip antenna would just be some stretched sprue you would make, and you could paint the antenna red to reflect this.
