USS Alaska (CB-1) and USS Guam (CB-2) belonged to a rare class of heavily armed large ships—the so-called \"large cruisers,\" designed in response to the Axis powers' heavy cruisers. The 12in\/50 guns were the largest artillery pieces ever to be mounted on American cruisers. These vessels took part in Pacific operations in 1945, providing gunfire support and escorting aircraft carriers during the Okinawa invasion and other late war operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States of America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of use:\u003c\/strong\u003e World War II\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical application:\u003c\/strong\u003e combat operations in the Pacific, gunfire support during American offensives in 1945\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct category:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal accessories for ship models, model conversions, modeling accessories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is especially dedicated to advanced modelers and enthusiasts of building realistic replicas of warships.
