The normal procedure is a 50% deposit with the commissioning, with the balance due prior to shipping. The model build time is generally 16 weeks from receipt of the order and deposit. Options include keel block mounting, waterline models, nameplates, ships seals and ribbons, and weathering paint schemes. Every model includes pedestals, mounted on a polished mahogany base board. Other parts are made from a variety of woods, putty, resin and metals. Each model is exquisitely crafted by our master model builders and comes fully assembled with a solid hull - hand carved from kiln-dried mahogany. Only when a customer tells us the size and/or scale desired do we build the model. Our submarine models are made-to-order, meaning that we do not stock any pre-made models. However, if you would like your model made in a size other than those sizes listed, please contact us with your request.

Virginia class submarines are 377 feet long, displace 7800 tons when submerged, can go over 25 knots underwater and carry a crew of 132. These submarines have one nuclear reactor powering the sub and are designed to not need to be refueled throughout its lifetime. Virginia class submarines do not have the traditional periscopes but Photonics Masts with color, black and white and infrared cameras. The Navy plans to procure a total of 30 Virginia class submarines. They were conceived as a less expensive alternative to the Seawolf-class attack submarines, designed during the Cold War era, and they are planned to replace the older of the Los Angeles-class submarines. Currently ten are in service and seven more are either under construction or under contract. The Virginia class submarines are the United States newest and most advanced submarines - an advanced stealth multimission nuclear-powered fast attack submarine for deep ocean anti-submarine warfare and littoral (shallow water) operations.
