I believe it is a re-pop of the Dragon Charles Adams DDG. The Adams-class were transferred to Oz, West Germany & several other countries

Hi Ed,
I believe the Aus and West Geman ships were new-builds and not trasfers from US Navy stock.
PS: I concur re the kit likel to be a reboxed Dragon, the Revell/RoG "norm" being 1/720 scale.

From information listed in NAVSOURCE the last 6 in the Adams class (Perth, Hobart, Brisbane, Leutgens, Moelders, Rommel) all had US hull numbers before their transfer.
There is an image in NAVSOURCE of the transfer certificate for the Rommel from the US Navy to the West German Navy. See http://www.navsource.org/archives/05/05013024.jpg NAVSOURCE doesn't allow hot linking of their content.
I agree that these were not retired/inactive US Navy ships. They were FMS purchased by the US and resold/transferred under military assistance grants
All vessels of the Charles F. Adams DDG in USN service, Australian, and German have been retired. The 1200psi steam system is rather expensive to operate and becomes more so when the system gets older. The USN switched back to 600psi steam in new construction in the late 1960s or switched the aeroderivitive gas turbines in surface combat vessels. All CF Adams ship for Germany and Australia were new builds.
Chasing the ultimate build.
I might add that since 1945 there hasn't been a Kreigsmarine. Its either the Bundsmarine or Reichsmarine today, I don't remember.
