The Gleaves-class destroyers, a group of 66 vessels in the United States Navy, were constructed between 1938 and 1942. These detailed models feature animatable parts such as guns, turrets, anti-aircraft Bofors, 20mm cannons, davits, whaleboats, hatches, propellers, rudders, and more. Flags can be added and animated, anchors with anchor chains, handrails, ladders, hatches are also included. Life rafts can be launched too. The model is available in multiple formats and renders well using good animation and rendering techniques. Distinguishable from the Benson-class destroyers only by stack shape, Gleaves-class had round stacks while Benson class had flat-sided ones. As the production destroyer of the US Navy before World War II, these ships played a significant role.
