The Lafayette class boats were a mainstay in the US SSBN Fleet for a number of years. This extremely accurate 26″ long scale model was commissioned by an individual who served on board the boat, for members of the reunion group. Our Research Associate Paul Gonsalves exhaustively researched the boat, providing over 35 pages of plans, details, manufacturer’s photos of components, and exterior detail itemizations, as is typical of our research staff. That being said, our Lafayette Class subs are the most accurate and detailed model kits available for sale. Additionally, with slight modifications, this boat can be configured into a Ben Franklin class boat.
