GENERAL HULL PAINT GUIDE 26US NAVY MEASURE 32/355-B
Special thankS to:
In the first few months immediately following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was the U. S. Navy’s submarine force that began unlimited warfare against Japan. While the surfaces forces regrouped, the submarines began attacking Japanese shipping across the Pacific. Throughout the war, American submarines sunk the warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy and cut the lifeline of merchant vessels that provided Japan with oil and other vital raw materials. They also performed other important missions like staging commando raids and rescuing downed pilots. The most successful of the U. S. fleet submarines during World War II were those of the GATO class. Designed to roam the large expanses of the Pacific Ocean, these submarines were powered by two Diesel engines, generating 5,400 horse power for operating on the surface, and batteries provided power while submerged.
Gato class submarines could reach speeds of over twenty knots on the
surface and nine knots under water. Their primary armament consisted of twenty-four 21-inch torpedoes which could be fired from six tubes in the bow and four in the stern. Most GATO class submarines typically carried one 3-inch, one 4-inch, or one 5-inch deck gun. To defend against aircraft while on the surface, one or two 40-mm guns were usually fitted, and these were supplemented by 20mm cannon as well as .50 caliber and .30 caliber machine guns. Gato class subs were 311'9" long, displaced 2,415 tons while submerged, and carried a crew of eighty-five men.
Your hightly detailed Revell 1/72nd scale kit can be used to build one of four different WWII GATO class submarines: USS COBIA, SS-245, USS GROWLER, SS-215, USS SILVERSIDES, SS-236, and the USS FLASHER, SS-249. Decals include hull markings and victory/signal flag sets for each boat.

GENERAL HULL PAINT GUIDE 26US NAVY MEASURE 32/355-B
Special thankS to:
In the first few months immediately following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, it was the U. S. Navy’s submarine force that began unlimited warfare against Japan. While the surfaces forces regrouped, the submarines began attacking Japanese shipping across the Pacific. Throughout the war, American submarines sunk the warships of the Imperial Japanese Navy and cut the lifeline of merchant vessels that provided Japan with oil and other vital raw materials. They also performed other important missions like staging commando raids and rescuing downed pilots. The most successful of the U. S. fleet submarines during World War II were those of the GATO class. Designed to roam the large expanses of the Pacific Ocean, these submarines were powered by two Diesel engines, generating 5,400 horse power for operating on the surface, and batteries provided power while submerged.
Gato class submarines could reach speeds of over twenty knots on the
surface and nine knots under water. Their primary armament consisted of twenty-four 21-inch torpedoes which could be fired from six tubes in the bow and four in the stern. Most GATO class submarines typically carried one 3-inch, one 4-inch, or one 5-inch deck gun. To defend against aircraft while on the surface, one or two 40-mm guns were usually fitted, and these were supplemented by 20mm cannon as well as .50 caliber and .30 caliber machine guns. Gato class subs were 311'9" long, displaced 2,415 tons while submerged, and carried a crew of eighty-five men.
Your hightly detailed Revell 1/72nd scale kit can be used to build one of four different WWII GATO class submarines: USS COBIA, SS-245, USS GROWLER, SS-215, USS SILVERSIDES, SS-236, and the USS FLASHER, SS-249. Decals include hull markings and victory/signal flag sets for each boat.
