USS Arizona 1/200 Scale 930mm (36.2') US Battleship - RTR from Bancroft - BNC1065-003
The USS Arizona, a 608’ long Pennsylvania-class battleship, holds a significant place in American history, particularly for its tragic role in the attack on Pearl Harbor. Commissioned in 1916, the USS Arizona was part of the U.S. Navy’s expansion during World War I. Although it did not see combat during the war, it became an essential part of the fleet in the interwar period.
On December 7, 1941, the USS Arizona was moored at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, when Japanese forces launched a surprise attack. A bomb penetrated the forward ammunition magazines, leading to a catastrophic explosion that sank the ship and killed 1,177 of its crew. The loss of the USS Arizona represented nearly half of the total American casualties during the attack.
The wreck of the USS Arizona remains at the bottom of Pearl Harbor, serving as a powerful memorial. In 1962, the USS Arizona Memorial was dedicated, straddling the sunken battleship without touching it, to honor the men who perished.

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. 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.
