SSBN-826 Columbia Class Painted

Military Mahogany is proud to offer the new Columbia Class wooden model submarine to our series of beautiful hand crafted models. This model is the real deal hand carved from solid mahogany and weighing over 3 lbs and painted in a flat black exterior.

Columbia-class ballistic-missile submarines will replace the aging Ohio-class nuclear ballistic submarine force due to begin to retire from service in 2027. Arguably the most complex machines ever made, submarines of the Columbia class will be the largest ever built by the United States at two-and-a-half-times the size of the existing Virginia-class attack submarines. The Columbia class represents an evolution of submarine technology. Ships of the class will have a life-of-ship reactor, eliminating the need for refueling and making each ship more cost-effective to operate while maximizing time of deployment. Superior acoustical performance and state-of-the-art sensors make the Columbia class the quietest, stealthiest and most capable submarines ever built. When fully deployed, the Columbia class will carry 70% of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.
