Description:
USS New York (LPD-21) is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock built to support troop deployment, amphibious operations, and humanitarian missions for the United States Navy. Constructed using steel recovered from the World Trade Center after the September 11 attacks, the vessel carries deep national significance and symbolism.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany. Every detail, from the expansive flight deck and superstructure to the well dock and radar systems, is carefully recreated by skilled craftsmen to capture the powerful appearance of the original vessel.
One of the defining features of USS New York is its symbolic construction and advanced amphibious warfare capability designed to transport Marines, landing craft, and helicopters for expeditionary operations. Its modern naval architecture and strong military profile give the vessel a commanding presence.
Completion typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the design complexity and selected materials.
