The six ships of this class were authorized in 1924 and designed under the restrictions of the Washington Navel Conference, hence the nickname--"treaty cruisers." The six ships of the class were, Northampton CA-29, Chester CA-27, Louisville CA-28, Chicago CA-29, Houston CA-30 and Augusta CA-31. Augusta, Northampton, Houston and Chicago were lost in the Pacific.

Houston was laid down in May 1928, at Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. in Virginia; she was commissioned in June, 1930, and was only one of three American cruisers to win the Presidential Unit Citation.
In 1931, Houston became the flagship of the Asiatic Station. She returned to the West Coast in 1933 and hosted Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934 and again in 1935. FDR considered the Houston his second home. In 1938, she was flagship of the U.S. Fleet.
During the first days of WW II, Houston joined with warships of Australia, Britain and the Netherlands in an attempt to hold the Indonesian area. On February 4, 1942, she was hit by a bomb that killed over 50 men and knocked out the aft 8-inch gun turret.
On Feb. 26th, the combined task force met the Japanese for seven raging hours in what is now know as the Battle of the Java Sea. On the following day, Houston and the Australian cruiser Perth, while attempting to escape via Sunda Strait, discovered the Japanese invasion transport and immediately attacked. A savage close quarters battle ensured, and shortly after midnight, Perth went down, followed by Houston, guns still firing, with the loss of 700 of her crew.
After the war, fewer than 300 Houston crewmen came home from Japanese prison camps. When the story of their heroic ship became known, she was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation, and her skipper Capt. A.H. Rooks, was awarded the Medal of Honor (posthumously.)

The concept of the light carrier grew out of British and US studies beginning with World War I, for small, inexpensive ships providing a capability for flexible ship-based aircraft operations.

Early in WW II, shipbuilding magnate, Henry J. Kaiser convinced President Roosevelt of the merits of a fleet of light carriers based upon his merchant ship hulls utilizing his successful mass production shipbuilding methods. These became the Casablanca class of which 50 were constructed.

One such ship was the Gambier Bay (CVE-73) named after a bay on Alaska's Admiralty Island. Her keel was laid July 10, 1943 at the Kaiser shipyard in Vancouver, Washington, and she was delivered to th Navy 171 days later.

Her first missions were the transportation of troops from the US Mainland to Hawaii, and then the provision of 84 aircraft to the Enterprise operating in the Marshall Islands. Following this, she was utilized in carrier qualifications of Marine pilots flying F4U Corsairs: this was the first escort carrier operation of the Corsair.

Also know as the jeep carrier, the small CVE's were known to have a big punch. Gambier Bay took part in the naval surface action off Sumar at Leyte Gulf in October 1944. She was lost to Japanese naval gunfire. Approximately 700 of her crew were rescued, and she received four battle stars and shared a Presidential Unit Citation.

The Porter Class DDs were originally classified as "Destroyer Leaders". They were heavier than the standard DD and were to lead the smaller DDs in torpedo attacks against enemy shipping. The Porters were also unique in that they were one of the few U.S. Navy ships that carried a Torpedo reload for her tubes. Bluewater Navy's first model of the Porter Class is represented by the USS Porter as commissioned in 1936. This kit is a good example of what a U.S. Navy ship looked Pre-WWII with no radars and lots of tophamper clutter. The USS Porter is a multimedia kit comprising a single resin upper hull, a single piece lower hull (full hull or waterline model), resin stacks, turrets and platforms. Other features include a detailed resin superstructure, smokestacks and deck. Small parts are cast in fine pewter for extra strength. A photo-etched brass sheet completes the kit with over 75 parts.

The New Attack Submarine is designed for multi-mission operations and enhanced operational flexibility. SEAWOLF (SSN-21)-Class quieting has been incorporated in a smaller hull while military performance has been maintained or improved. Compared with the Seawolf, the Virginia Class SSN is slower, carries fewer weapons, and is less capable in diving depth and arctic operations. On the other hand, the Virginia Class is expected to be as quiet as the Seawolf, will incorporate a vertical launch system and have improved surveillance as well as special operations characteristics to enhance littoral warfare capability. While the 688-I submarines are noisier than the improved Russian Akula class, the Seawolf is quieter than Akula and the upcoming Russian SSN-P-IX class. The primary design driver for the Virginia Class SSN is acoustic quietness equal to that of the Seawolf, even at the cost of reducing maximum top speed. With a focus on the littoral battlespace, the Virginia Class Submarine has improved magnetic stealth, sophisticated surveillance capabilities, and Special Warfare enhancements.

The Blue Water Navy kit measures 12 1/2 inches long and is a perfect starter kit. The hull is a single casting with resin dive planes. A small photo-etched brass sheet is included.
