USS Spruance Class DD Clear 1-2400

USS Spruance Class DDG Clear 1-2400
 
This 1-2400 scale waterslide deck decal is designed for miniature warships representing the Spruance DD family. It provides a practical way to add crisp deck markings and surface detail to modern U.S. Navy miniatures while retaining the modeler's chosen hull and deck finish.
 
Decal Information
They are printed on clear-background waterslide decal paper, allowing the modeler to paint the deck in any desired color before applying the clear decal over the painted surface.
 
Model Compatibility
This 1-2400 scale deck decal is sized for the GHQ miniature. Miniatures from other manufacturers may differ in deck dimensions, weapons placement, or superstructure footprint, so test-fit before application.
 
Historical Information
The Spruance class entered service in 1975 as a large gas-turbine-powered destroyer optimized for anti-submarine warfare and carrier escort. Its spacious hull and power plant provided substantial growth potential, and many ships later received Tomahawk cruise missiles, improved sensors, and other upgrades. Spruance-class destroyers served in Cold War, Persian Gulf, and post-Cold War operations before the class was retired by 2005.
