1/350 Trumpeter HMS Abercrombie Monitor – 05336

Description

ABERCROMBIE was an upgraded version of the older sister ship, ROBERTS. The original main gun turret was spare from FURIOUS, fitted with two 15-inch guns type Mark I*/N. Other improvements included larger living space, more artillery reserve and increased engine room deck thickness. ABERCROMBIE was also equipped with four twin 102mm 45 calibre Mk V dual rapid-fire guns, sixteen British 40mm 2-pounder “pom-pom” cannons, and twenty US 20mm Oerlikon guns.

In 1943, ABERCROMBIE was awarded Battle Honors for campaigns in the Mediterranean at Sicily and Salerno. Post-war ABERCROMBIE was moored on the River Medway for many years as an accommodation ship and was sold for scrap in 1954.
