USS Forrestal (CVA-59) (later CV-59, then AVT-59), was a supercarrier named after the first United States Secretary of Defense James Forrestal. Commissioned in 1955, she was the United States' first completed supercarrier, and was the lead ship of her class.

Big model almost 0,6 meters - thus upgrading from an advance to a grand project. Not very shelf friendly. Maybe one day.

Interesting build, model kit has updated box and manual (Revell smaller Enterprise kit has not). Discontinued, may be hard to find.
