Entering service in 2004, USS Virginia (SSN-774) is the lead ship of the Virginia-class nuclear-powered fast attack submarines. It introduced advanced stealth technology, improved weapons systems, and unparalleled flexibility for a wide range of missions. Designed to replace older classes, the Virginia combines cutting-edge sonar, propulsion, and combat systems to maintain undersea superiority. This submarine exemplifies modern naval innovation and strategic defense capabilities. This 36-inch handcrafted model captures the futuristic design of the USS Virginia with exceptional precision. Built using the plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods such as Canadian red cedar, mahogany, rosewood, and teak, the build time ranges from 3 to 6 months 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. Customize your model here: Custom-made Projects
