USS Ohio Submarine (SSBN-726) 36 Inches Model

Commissioned in 1981, USS Ohio (SSBN-726) is the lead ship of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines, serving as a cornerstone of the United States’ strategic nuclear deterrent during and after the Cold War. This class introduced significant advancements in stealth, missile technology, and endurance, ensuring a persistent and credible second-strike capability. The Ohio-class remains a vital element of national security, symbolizing technological innovation and naval strength. Its legacy continues to shape modern submarine design and strategic defense policy. This 36-inch handcrafted model reflects the imposing scale and design of this strategic asset. Built using the plank-on-frame construction method and premium-grade woods such as Canadian red cedar, mahogany, rosewood, and teak, it requires 3 to 6 months of expert craftsmanship depending on design complexity and materials. We access extensive resources, including museum collections worldwide, to source authentic materials. However, if you have specific plans, photos, or customization notes, please share them—we tailor every build to your vision. You’ll receive photos at each stage—hull construction, deck detailing, and painting—for review and feedback. We’ll make adjustments until you’re completely satisfied with the model. After final approval, the model ships in a custom wooden package to ensure safe delivery. Begin your custom order now: Custom-made Projects

History

USS Ohio (SSBN-726) is the lead submarine of the Ohio-class ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) in the United States Navy. Commissioned in 1981 and built by Electric Boat, she is one of the largest submarines ever constructed by the U.S., with a length of 560 feet (170 meters) and a submerged displacement of over 18,700 tons. Designed during the Cold War, USS Ohio was built to carry Trident ballistic missiles, forming a crucial part of American’s nuclear triad and providing a stealthy sea-based nuclear deterrent. Originally designed for strategic deterrence missions, Ohio-class submarines like USS Ohio can remain submerged for extended periods, making them highly survivable platforms for nuclear missiles. In the early 2000s, USS Ohio underwent a major conversion, transitioning from a ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) to a guided missile submarine (SSGN). This conversion allowed Ohio to carry cruise missiles and support special operations forces with enhanced capabilities such as deploying unmanned underwater vehicles and divers. USS Ohio remains in active service, playing a vital role in both strategic deterrence and tactical strike missions. Its flexibility and advanced technology make it a key asset in the U.S. Navy’s undersea warfare capabilities.
