Construction began on December 30, 1941, was completed on June 24, 1942, and entered service on February 1, 1943.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAs one of the pioneers in the aviation of US Navy destroyers, the Stevens dismantled the third gun position and the second torpedo launch tube, and added a water jet catapult behind the second chimney to recover equipment used by seaplanes, including cranes, and renovated the rear superstructure.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eAfter a series of tests and practical applications, the US Navy found that the airworthiness of aircraft modified destroyers was low in harsh sea conditions, and the presence of seaplanes and catapults installed caused the center of gravity of the ship to shift backwards, resulting in an imbalance of the center of gravity. And the space limitations of carrier based seaplanes placed on destroyers caused a series of operational obstacles, and later in late 1943, the Stevens was converted back to its original Fletcher class armament status. The modified Stevens was dispatched to the Western Pacific region from 1943 to 1945 to cover island landings, provide firepower support, and patrol missions. After the war in 1946, the Stevens returned to San Pedro, California and was decommissioned and sealed on July 2, 1946, remaining in the Pacific Reserve Fleet until it was delisted and dismantled in December 1972.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"509\" height=\"405\" class=\"ke-zeroborder\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\" width=\"144\"\u003eItem No\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"365\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e65308\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"26\" width=\"144\"\u003eItem Name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"365\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003eUSS Stevens DD-479\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eScale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"365\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e1:350\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eItem Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003ePlastic Model Warship Kit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eModel Brief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003eLength: 327.6mm\u003cspan\u003e   \u003c\/span\u003eBeam: 34.8 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eTotal Parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e420+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eMetal Parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003eanchor chain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003ePhoto Etched Parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e2 pcs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eFilm Parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003en\/a\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eResin Parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003en\/a\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eTotal Sprues\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e7 sprues , turret , hull and deck\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"25\"\u003eReleased Date\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e2025-04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"75\" width=\"144\"\u003eMore Features\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"365\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e    \u003c\/span\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ethe kit contains over 420 parts\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ethe hull made from two-directional slide molds\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eContains display stand\u003cbr\u003e- photo etched parts included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HOBBY JOLLY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175414644892,"sku":"65308","price":87.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/0093\/8908\/files\/6805feaea5969.jpg?v=1783554313","url":"https:\/\/hobbyjolly.com\/products\/1-350-uss-stevens-dd-479","provider":"HOBBY JOLLY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
