I decided that I wanted to build a model of the U.S.S. Eldridge and maybe/maybe not display it near the ammo can I have from the ship. I went to look up the kit at a couple web stores and found that I couldn’t look for it. No matter how many or different times I tried to search for it the closest I could get was the USS ridge. This brought up things like the Blueridge and some other ships but never did let me look up the Eldridge. I can’t explain it. This just seems odd considering what they did with that boat.

Apparently Pit Road kitted one a while back.
She was a Cannon class Destroyer Escort. Lindberg, Trumpeter and Revell have all sold DE kits at one time or another, but not of this class.

IIRC, Shapeways offers a stack that will help you move toward a Cannon DE from a Buckley. Swap around guns from any of the other aftermarket suspects
There may be an ELDRIDGE kit hiding in some hobby shop in Philadelphia. [;)]
Or it may have disappeared.
