This model represents the fighting tops of the Tennessee class battleships USS Tennessee BB-43 and USS California BB-44 as they appeared from 1935 through 1941. They feature open shutters all around. Their overall dimensions are based on drawings made by Alan B. Chesley of the ships as they appeared in 1935. Details were confirmed by careful examination of available photographs of the actual ships taken from 1935-1942.
These fighting tops are specific to USS Tennessee and USS California. Other fighting tops for similar US Navy battleships are differently shaped.
