USS SAN DIEGO
LPD-22

This large model of the USS San Diego was one of the four models the former Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter commissioned us to build in 2012. 

The model was our third generation. We are now at fifth generation which was started in 2019. If you'd like to have very accurate model of the San Antonio class LPD, click on this link for more: USS San Antonio.

The USS San Diego was the fourth model Mr. Donald C. Winter  received from ModelShipMaster. The first two were a Atlanta-class light cruiser class USS San Diego CL-53 and a Mars class USS San Diego (AFS-6) which served as presents to LPD-22 in her commissioning ceremony in May 2012. The third warship model was the USS San Diego CA-6, completed in 2013 for a permanent display on the real LPD-22 ship. 

USS San Diego (LPD-22) is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock of the United States Navy that costs about 1.6 billion dollars to build.  The ship can deliver a fully equipped Marine battalion of 699 officers and enlisted men.

San Diego's keel was laid down on 23 May 2007, at Northrop Grumman's Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She was launched on 7 May 2010, and christened on 12 June, sponsored by Linda Winter, wife of former Navy Secretary Donald C. Winter.


The San Diego integrates the latest in shipbuilding and naval warfare technologies to support current and future U.S. Marine Corps warplanes, and both air cushion landing craft or conventional landing craft.

The San Diego, as well as other San Antonio ships, is the most survivable amphibious ships ever put to sea. Their design incorporates state-of-the-art self-defense capabilities; and includes facilities for command and control, communications, computers, and intelligence.

The Advanced Enclosed Mast/Sensors, which enclose the ship's radars and communications antennas, characterize the ship's distinctive profile.  

The USS San Diego can carry Landing Craft, Air Cushioned (LCACs), the Shipboard Wide Area Network with over 762 fiber optic drops, Total Ship's Training System, Integrated Bridge System, Engineering Control System, and Damage Control System all serve to ensure that sailors and Marines will be able to fully perform their expeditionary warfare missions. The ship also incorporate the latest quality of life standards for the embarked Marines and sailors, including the sit-up berth, ship services mall, and Learning Resource Center/Electronic Classroom with the flexibility to accommodate sailors and Marines of both sexes as part of the crew and embarked troops.

The San Antonio class was largely designed with the metric system, specifying millimeters and meters for linear dimensions. This is the first major U.S. Navy ship class to be built this way.
