Assembling No.4 | Nakdong River and Incheon | 1/700

Описание: *USS Valley Forge (CV-45)**: The only U.S. carrier in the Western Pacific when North Korea invaded on June 25, 1950. She launched the **first carrier air strikes* of the war on July 3, 1950, and made *four combat deployments* (unique among carriers in that conflict). She provided critical close air support during the Pusan Perimeter defense, Incheon Landing (September 1950), and extensive bombing/interdiction missions. Awarded *8 battle stars* for Korea, she played a pivotal role in establishing early UN air superiority.

*USS Philippine Sea (CV-47)**: Arrived in Korean waters in August 1950 and served as flagship for parts of Task Force 77. She provided key air support during the **Incheon Landing* (bombing Wolmi-do, blocking enemy reinforcements, deep strikes inland), the Pusan Perimeter breakout, Seoul recapture, and later operations including around the Chosin Reservoir. She completed *three tours* in Korea and earned *9 battle stars* for her service.

In summary, the key difference stems from era and availability: Enterprise was a pre-war/WWII veteran already decommissioned and in reserve by 1947, while Valley Forge and Philippine Sea were post-WWII Essex-class ships ready for immediate reactivation and sustained combat in the early jet-age Korean conflict.
