Subsequently - the battleship was placed in reserve but underwent modernization in the 1980s - bringing it back into service during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The Missouri contributed its firepower once again - launching Tomahawk missiles and conducting naval bombardments in support of coalition forces.The 1:700 scale Waterline display version model is designed for waterline display - allowing enthusiasts to showcase the ship's impressive profile without the need for a full hull. With meticulous attention to detail - this replica features the Missouri's main and secondary armaments - radar systems - and other distinctive elements that make it a standout addition to any naval history or military model collection.
