During the Falklands Conflict , she was a troop ship painted white .They affectionally called her the " White Whale " . I always thought that of the Revell ships I have had and now have , the Oriana and the Canberra and the Brasil/Brazil/Argentina , were the most attractive alongside the Savannah on my Civil shelf .
Instructions coming soon . Thanks for your patience ! Doc
