The USS Wasp is an amphibious assault ship capable of carrying helicopters, vertical take-off and landing planes, vehicles, and a large contingent of Marine landing troops. This makes its model extremely popular among military modelers and naval enthusiasts.

• fine structural details of the hull and superstructure
