Saratoga Model Shipyard 1/1250 SMY33 USS Prometheus AR.3 1944

A 1/1250 scale metal model of USS Prometheus, AR.3, a repair ship sister to USS Vestal that was badly damaged at Pearl Harbor but Prometheus is modelled in a later rig. Prometheus was laid up at Bremerton until 1942 but then towed the ARD.2 floating drydock from Pearl Harbor to Noumea where both worked until 1944. Prometheus then went to Palau Island, Ulithi & Leyte and sailed to San Francisco after war ended.
