The American counterpart in this twin set is USS Dallas, a Los Angeles-class attack submarine. This US Navy boat was commissioned in 1981 and its initial duties were in the research and development area. However, since 1988 it has been part of Submarine Squadron Two based in Connecticut and the submarine has conducted numerous deployments to places like the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean and North Atlantic. More recently USS Dallas has been fitted with a Dry Deck Shelter that allows deployment of Swimmer Delivery Vehicles by special forces teams. These two interesting vessels � a Russian and an American � are a valuable addition to the Orange Box range of ships. Outfitted with brand new Cartograf decals, this pair of ships is offered at a very reasonable price and with an outstanding level of quality!
