She also had the distinction of being the USA’s first all-new cruiser design since WWII, and since cruisers since then have generally been based simply on scaled-up destroyer hulls, her crew aptly described her as “The Only Real Cruiser.” USS Long Beach had a pair of 5-inch 38-calibre guns mounted amidships, and in 1979 she began a midlife upgrade at Puget Sound. At that point the original aft-mounted RIM-8 Talos launcher was replaced by twin four-cell Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers. The cruiser saw combat in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Vietnam War, and also endured long enough to provide support during the 1991 Gulf War as a carrier escort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDragon have selected three Cold War-era USS warships, namely \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/products\/1-700-u-s-s-virginia-cgn-38\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVirginia CGN-38\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.cyber-hobby.com\/products\/1-700-u-s-s-albany-cg-10-smart-kit\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eAlbany CG-10\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, and\u003cstrong\u003e Long Beach CGN-9\u003c\/strong\u003e from 1980, for production in 1\/700 scale.
