Model Ship Factory, makers of hand made model ships, presents to you our James Forrestal CV59 model ship. The Navy Forrestal carrier desktop model is meticulously carved and painted to reflect the true detail of the original USS CV-59 ship. Our Navy CV59 Forrestal model ship is a beautiful, handmade authentic replica, made from the very finest grade of select kiln-dried mahogany wood, resin, and metal materials, and painstakingly decorated by our skilled craftsmen.

The supercarrier USS Forrestal (CV-59), formerly AVT-59 and CVA-59, was named after former Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal and was the lead ship of her class of aircraft carriers. The other carriers of her class were the USS Saratoga and USS Ranger. She was the largest aircraft carrier since Shinano of World War II vintage, and the first to specifically support jet aircraft. The ship was affectionately called "The FID", because James Forrestal was the first ever Secretary of Defense, FID standing for "First In Defense".
