USS INDEPENDENCE CVL-22 MODERN SEA POWER SERIES 1:350 SCALE DRAGON History: She was built by New York Shipbuilding and commissioned in January 1943. She took part in the Rabaul and Tarawa raids and attacks before being bombed and damaged by Japanese aircraft, then repaired in San Francisco from January to July 1944. After repairs, she was used to attack various targets on Luzon and Okinawa. She was part of the battalion that sank the remnants of the Japanese fleet in the Battle of Leyte Gulf and several other Japanese ships in Surigao Strait. She finished her wartime service off the coast of Japan supporting the occupation forces, then was assigned to return soldiers to the United States as part of Operation Magic Carpet. The carrier was later used as a target during the atomic bomb tests of Operation Crossroads. After being returned to Pearl Harbor and San Francisco for study, she was subsequently sunk on January 29, 1951 near the Farallon Islands. We do not ship to the Canary Islands
