Trumpeter 05616 USS New York (LPD-21) 1/350 is a high-quality plastic model kit depicting the modern American San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock in an impressive 1/350 scale. This model faithfully replicates the actual vessel, which measures 208 meters in length and entered service with the United States Navy in 2009, remaining operational to this day. USS New York (LPD-21) is notable for its historical significance—part of the ship's bow section is made from reclaimed steel from the destroyed World Trade Center towers. The ship was built as a tribute to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and its motto is: "Strength Forged Through Sacrifice – Never Forget."

The modern amphibious transport dock USS New York was designed to support amphibious operations, allowing the transportation and rapid landing of up to 800 Marines, combat vehicles, equipment, and supplies. Thanks to its advanced ramp, flight deck, and the capability to load and transport LCAC hovercrafts, helicopters, and MV-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, the vessel actively participates in contemporary logistical and operational missions of the US Navy worldwide.
