walker 04 -towne class

The closest (free) STL file I could find for a Wickes class destroyer was actually for a Town class destroyer. Before the US entered WWII, President Roosevelt exchanged fifty destroyers (Caldwell, Wickes, and Clemson classes) for bases in the British West Indies and Newfoundland. The British made many modifications to the destroyers before putting them into service. The most visible change was replacing the original forward funnel with a larger one. Even thought the destroyers came from different US Navy classes, the Royal Navy named them after British towns and they all became the "Town" class. This photo shows the one of the four Town class destroyers printed for this project.
