Spruance-class 1/100 Scale 1730mm (68.1") US Navy Destroyer - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1068-003
The Spruance-class destroyers were a series of 31 U.S. Navy warships commissioned between 1975 and 1983, designed primarily for anti-submarine warfare but capable of multi-mission operations. Built by Ingalls Shipbuilding, they were the first large U.S. Navy destroyers to feature gas turbine propulsion, using four General Electric LM2500 engines for high speed, rapid startup, and reduced maintenance compared to steam power. Their sleek, spacious design allowed for easy upgrades, which proved essential over their service life.
Initially armed with two 5-inch guns, ASROC launchers, and torpedo tubes, the Spruance-class later received Harpoon anti-ship missiles and, on some ships, Tomahawk cruise missiles that greatly enhanced strike capability. They carried two LAMPS III SH-60B Seahawk helicopters for extended anti-submarine reach.
Though criticized early on for appearing lightly armed, their sophisticated sonar, quiet propulsion, and large growth margin made them formidable in Cold War naval strategy. The class served worldwide, escorting carriers, patrolling contested waters, and participating in combat operations, including the 1991 Gulf War.
The last Spruance-class destroyer was decommissioned in 2005, replaced by Arleigh Burke-class ships. Their innovative propulsion, modular design, and adaptability influenced future U.S. surface combatant development.
Bancroft is proud to offer this impressively sized museum quality replica that is equally suited for display or operation. Handmade by skilled factory craftsmen, the model arrives fully assembled, detailed, and ready to sail. Powered by twin 550-class motors and controlled by a digital proportional 2.4GHz radio system, this 1/100 scale replica exceeds five feet in length and requires only the addition of four AA alkaline batteries for the transmitter. In addition, a complete sheet of hull numbers are provided for owners to recreate the hull number and name of any Spruance-class ship.

Bancroft model boats are molded and hand finished using very intricate details and parts including metal, wood, plastic, and fiberglass. Because of their hand made nature, minor imperfections in the fiberglass, metalwork, or painting may exist, as well as variations from the photos. These potential imperfections will not affect the seaworthiness of the vessel or the overall scale boating experience. Bancroft scale RC boats are fragile so care should be taken when moving or transporting your model.
Some of the electronics in this Bancroft boat, including the Battery, ESC, Motor, and Receiver, are NOT intended to get wet; they are NOT water resistant. If any of these electronic components get wet and you attempt to operate your model, the water can cause an electrical short-circuit and void your warranty. In the rare instance that you get water inside your vessel, you should drain the water completely and allow all electronics to fully dry before attempting to operate your model.
