Maiden Voyage

USS Tarawa - 1/72 Scale

Maiden Voyage of the model USS Tarawa (LHA-1), November 1999. The primary war-fighting mission of the LHA-1 Tarawa class is to land and sustain United States Marines on any shore during hostilities. The ships are designed to maintain what the Marine Corps calls "tactical integrity". One LHA can carry a complete Marine battalion, along with the supplies and equipment needed in an assault, and land them ashore by either helicopter or amphibious craft.
