The Bodega Bay was a pleasure to build and is a joy to sail. It will be no surprise that another carrier model has entered my 'future projects' file!
Thank you for looking
To read about the history of these Escort carriers. Kenneth Poolnan's book, is excellent and shows that they served with distinction whether escorting Arctic convoys, hunting U-Boats in the Atlantic or supporting the Pacific 'Island Hopping' campaign. I still find it amazing that all the 50 carriers could be placed in service within the space of a single year.
Thank you for looking Rose
