USS Virginia Submarine (SSN-774) 30 Inches Model

Description

Commissioned in 2004, USS Virginia (SSN-774) is the first vessel of the Virginia-class nuclear-powered fast attack submarines, marking a major leap forward in modern undersea warfare. Developed to replace earlier submarine classes, USS Virginia integrates advanced stealth features, next-generation sonar systems, and highly adaptable combat capabilities, allowing it to operate effectively across a broad range of naval missions.

This 30-inch handcrafted model faithfully reflects the submarine’s sleek, contemporary profile and refined engineering. Constructed using the traditional plank-on-frame method, the model is crafted from premium materials including Canadian red cedar, mahogany, rosewood, and teak. Depending on design complexity and customization requirements, the production process typically takes 3 to 6 months.

Our craftsmen rely on extensive reference materials sourced from museum archives and verified collections worldwide to ensure historical and technical accuracy. Clients are also welcome to provide specific plans, photographs, or customization details. Throughout the build, progress photos are shared at each key stage—hull construction, deck detailing, and final painting—allowing for review and adjustments until complete satisfaction is achieved. Once approved, the model is carefully packed in a custom wooden crate to ensure safe international delivery.

History

USS Virginia (SSN-774) serves as the lead submarine of the Virginia-class, a new generation of nuclear-powered fast attack submarines designed to meet the evolving demands of 21st-century naval operations. Commissioned in 2004 and constructed by Huntington Ingalls Industries in partnership with Electric Boat, the class introduced modular construction techniques and advanced acoustic stealth technologies.

Virginia-class submarines are engineered for multi-mission flexibility, supporting anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, and special operations. With its advanced propulsion, sensor integration, and combat systems, USS Virginia remains a cornerstone of U.S. Navy undersea dominance and a benchmark for modern submarine design.
