The naming of the USS *Iowa* (BB-61) followed the U.S. Navy's long-standing tradition of naming capital ships after states in the American Midwest; the vessel stands not only as the pride of Iowa but also as a symbol of the federal government's recognition of the states, perfectly showcasing the nation's formidable industrial manufacturing capabilities and maritime power.

The DUANT 59056 kit offers an incredibly detailed recreation of the USS *Iowa*'s superstructure. The complex bridge structure features distinct, layered detailing, while the towering masts are equipped with various radar antennas and communication gear.
