USS Cleveland - Model fpr 1/4000 printing

The Cleveland-class of light cruisers was a class built by the US Navy in WW2. Being equipped with a high rate of fire, capable radar and good amount of AA-fire, these ships were designed to accompany task forces and convoys. The main effectiveness of the class was its numbers, being really high for a modern light cruiser. Overall 36 were built, 9 were converted into light aircraft carriers. Several subclasses existed, hulls also got used for further testing. Though the units saw heavy use within the war, not a single one was lost. After the war, many units were sold to foreign countries where they served up until the 80s. Most of the ships within the Navy never saw active service once more, they were mothballed and scrapped due to a high demand in crew. Only one units, USS Little Rock still exists as a museum ship and is open to the public. This model was made with the recognition manual from the US Navy and is intended to be printed in 1/4000 scale, hence the lack of detail.
