The USS TANG is an American Balao class submarine from the Second World War. The ship’s armament included 24 torpedoes, an anti-aircraft gun and two machine guns. The maximum tested immersion depth was 180 metres. It was launched on 17 August 1943. On 24 October 1944, it was sunk during its fifth patrol. The unit’s sole commander was Richard O’Kane, who along with eight sailors survived the shipwreck and remained in Japanese captivity until the end of the war. Statistics show that the USS TANG was the most successful submarine in the Pacific. 24 to 31 enemy ships were sunk by it.

The set consists of 777 elements and includes an accessory in the form of a removable hull side panel under which there is an imitation engine.
