This ship belonged to the Saipan-class light aircraft carriers and was operated by the US Navy during the Cold War era. It was distinguished by its compact design and the ability to operate fast carrier-based aircraft as well as perform support, training, and transport missions. USS Saipan served intensively until 1957, being deployed to the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic, among others, and was later converted into the command ship USS Arlington.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eModel details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/700\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of operator: \u003cstrong\u003eUnited States of America\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-quality plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes: hull parts, superstructures, armaments, carrier-based aircraft, decals, detailed assembly instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHistorical period: \u003cstrong\u003eCold War (active service 1946–1957)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: \u003cstrong\u003eplastic ship model kit\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdditions: \u003cstrong\u003eclear parts for the bridge, realistic details of deck equipment\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommendation and assembly difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The Dragon 7009 U.S.S.
