Description
Model kit of a Captain Class frigates
Includes 3D printed parts, photoetch fret, decals and brass parts.
A Gibbs & Cox design, following British Admiralty specifications, resulted in the Evarts class. The Gibbs & Cox design borrowed much from the Royal Navy Hunt class of escorts.
The Evarts class measured 289 feet 5 inches long and were known as the “short hull” destroyer escort. Later classes all measured 306 feet long and were called “long hull” destroyer escorts. A total of 97 Evarts class ships were built, with 32 going to the Royal Navy under the Lend-Lease Program. These ships were known as Captain class frigates.
After delivery, the ships were modified in order to match Admiralty requirements. The Captain class frigates were utilized as convoy escorts, anti-submarine warfare vessels, coastal forces control frigates and headquarters ships for the Normandy landings. The Royal Navy lost six Evarts type Captain class frigates during the war. After the war, all of the surviving Evarts type ships were returned to the USN.
