Aha!

      You are correct! Revell had a nice line up of ships about then. From the "Queens" to the S.S.United States,The Moore-Mcormack Brazil/Argentina, Numerous freighters an oiler and of course the U.S.S.Randall, and some other fine vessels, Including the then State of the Art Hospital Ships. They kind went the way of the Do-Do though. One that has always been around is their little "Harbor Tug". This little jewel popped up around 1955 and sporadically returned year after year.

     Was it accurate? Maybe, but the nice part was it was fun to build and made a very attractive finished model, whether pristine(Just out of the Yard) or weathered till the paint chipped off! This little boat can still be found too! We must'nt forget the "Norton Sound" and the regular Seaplane Tender either!

     When you build it (do you have the kit?) Take the reactor room and paint the walls A soft flat Aluminium. The Floor should be Deck Green(Bright). That's what colors were the last time I was aboard many, many years ago.

There was a YouTube video on this morning on this ship. It jogged a memory I was actually on her. She came to San Francisco when I was a kid we went to the pier and there was a tour. I purchased the model I think it as a Revell kit
