Hi all,
Does anyone know if the model of the USS Pennsylvania still reides in the Wagner Bldg at the University Park campus of Penn State? I know that the ship's bell is there and the main guns are displayed in Boalsburg PA but the model was impressive and I was just wondering what happened to It.

No, it's not there, or no, you don't know if it's still there?
I note that it's not listed in their commemoratives...

Navy ROTC is in that building. I gave them a call and left a message; we'll see what they say.
Thanks for trying bondoman. I do get near State College occasionally. Maybe I'll be able to take some time and stop to see. I'll post anything I find out.
Thanks again.

Hey, Its still there. I managed to make a quick side trip into good old PSU. Its on the third floor (Navy ROTC) Its about 8 tp 10 ft long was constructed in 1916 and is the "Builders Model" made mostly of wood. It was donated by the "Navy Department". I Took some photos but the glare off of the wooden and glass cabinet made for poor pictures with my old digital. Took a few photos with my 35mm Film Camera so I'll have to wait to get them developed to see if I can get rid of the glare. Can anyone clarify what a "Builder's Model" was and what it was used for? Sounds like a good job for some of us..........

Sure, if you can work in computer modelling
The builder's model was a 3D reference useful for building an overall visual of how the ship would look as well as to showcase to visiting brass.
