The "xNumber" notation (e.g. "x6") refers to the number of models included with that order, not the number of parts (i.e. if it says x6 you get six models)

Authorized in 1943, the Oquendo Class was not built until 1951 and served until the 1980s. Three were built: Oquendo (D-41), Roger de Lauria (D-42), Marqués de la Ensenada (D-43)
CVA-58, the USS United States, was planned to be the lead ship of a new class of supercarriers. The main role of CVA-58 was to be long range nuclear strikes and it carried a group of 12-18 AJ Savage nuclear-capable bombers and a wing of 54 fighters for escort duty. At the time, nuclear weapons were extremely heavy and required large aircraft (like the Savage) to carry them. Advances in weapon design soon changed this.
Approved in July 1948, the keel was laid down on April 18, 1949. However, resistance from the Air Force and Army and questions about its role caused its cancellation only 5 days later. Five ships were planned for the class.

The Pohang class corvette is a class of general purpose vessels operated by the Republic of Korea Navy. 24 were built, of which 21 are still active with the ROK Navy (1 lost, 1 retired, 1 to be transferred to Columbia). The basic hull can be customized for antiship, antisubmarine, or antiaircraft roles. On March 26th, 2010 the ROKS Cheonan was sunk by a torpedo launched by a North Korean Yeono sub, though the North Korean Regime denies any involvement.
Chamsuri class patrol vessels are naval craft designed and built for the Republic of Korea (South Korea) Navy in the 1970s. Over 100 were constructed. It is vein phased out in Korea, but many have been transferred to Bangladesh (Titas Class), East Timor, Ghana (Stephen Otu Class), Kazakhstan (031 Class), and the Philippines (Tomas Batillo class).
Ratanakosindra Class was a British-built Thai cruiser launched in 1929. Also in Class: Sudhodaya. I've heard they served until the 1970s, but cannot find a source on that.
A class of torpedo boats, the Trad Class was built in Monfalcone shipyard in Trieste, Italy. Nine were built and they were named after coastal provinces. Similar to the Spica Class, they smaller and carried 6 torpedo tubes.
The Commandant Rivière class of frigates was built for the French Navy in the early 1960s. Four similar ships (the João Belo class) were constructed for Portugal. Originally equipped with three 100 mm guns, one gun was later replaced by 4 MM38 Exocet Missiles. Nine Commandants were built, with three eventually transferred to Uruguay, where they remained in commission until the early 90s.
Two versions of the model are available. The "A" version has the three 100mm guns, the "B" version has Missile tubes. There may also be a variant without missile tubes and with the lower rear gun removed, but either the "A" or "B" version can be easily converted to this with a nail clipper and file. :-)

The Lupo class is a class of multipurpose frigates built for the Italian Navy. Constructed during the 1970s Italian Navlal build up, they were to complement the Anti-submarine focused Maestrale class by focusing on surface warfare. 18 were built, and served with the Italian, Peruvian, and Venezuelan navies. Four were ordered by Iraq in 1980 (the Soldati class), but were never delivered and were incorporated into the Italian Navy.

The Marne Class were built in the French 1916 War Programme. The first two in the class, Marne and Aisne, had two funnels, the others one. The Marne also had a more powerful turbine and greater displacement. The Marne participated in the French-Thai war in the Battle of Koh Chang. This model most closely follows the Marne. Thanks to Mark Hinds, Mal Wright, and the 1/6000 list for plans and guidance.
The Bougainville class aviso (sloop) was designed for colonial service in the early 1930s. Eight were built and the served a number of posts in Asia and Africa. This model is based on the Amiral Charner, which saw combat in the Battle of Koh Chang.
Eleven boats of the Arras class were built as colonial sloops. This model is based on the Tahure, which, along with the Marne fought in the Battle of Koh Chang
French Avisos were originally small boats designed to carry dispatches and messages. Later, the classes were primarily used in Colonial service, proving support and showing the flag through Asia and Africa. They are considered equivalent to the modern sloop. This pack contains: 3x Arras/Tahure Class, Bougainville/Amiral Charner Class, 1x Marne Class

This Albany Class is from Hector Bywater's The Great Pacific War. Bywater describes the class as a “Modern Cruiser,” laid down in 1927. This design is an adaptation of the Northampton class. Ship layout by Chris Carlson.
The Galveston Class is from Hector Bywater's The Great Pacific War. This class has 11,500 tons standard displacement. This design is based on stats from Bywater's book and Design 292 from Friedman's US Cruisers. Ship layout by Chris Carlson.
The first South Dakota class was a class of six battleships, laid down in 1920 but never completed due to the terms of the Washington Naval Treaty. They would have been the largest, most heavily armed and armored battleships in the U.S. Navy.
