The USS Indianapolis CA-35 was one of the most famous American cruisers of World War II – taking part in numerous Pacific operations, including the transport of atomic bomb components, which ultimately ended the war with Japan. This cruiser was sunk on July 30, 1945, after being torpedoed by a Japanese submarine—a tragedy that became one of the greatest disasters in the history of the US Navy.

Installation is straightforward – simply remove the original barrels from the Trumpeter model, drill the mounting holes, and attach the metal barrels using cyanoacrylate glue.
