The USS Ramsey had her keel laid on 4 February 1963 as a Destroyer Escort, designated originally as DEG -2. As the second keel of the Brooke (DEG 1) class of destroyer escort she carried armament of one 5” gun and an ASROC Launcher forward of the bridge. On her aft deck was a Tartar missile launcher, with two torpedo launchers both port and starboard amidships. Also carried was one Seasprite Helo for anti-submarine duty. She spent time on Yankee Station off the coast of Viet Nam, then finished her career designated FFG 2 on 1 September 1988 when decommissioned. Stricken from Navy lists in January 1992, she was later sunk as a target on 15 June 2000.

Polar Lights’ Star Trek Romulan Warfleet Dual Pack includes two kits: a Romulan Bird-of-Prey as seen in the first season of Star Trek and a D-7 battlecruiser as seen in the third season of Star Trek. The D-7 battlecruiser can be finished as either a Romulan or Klingon ship. The small box comes stuffed with parts. The main components of the two ships are molded in metallic gray plastic. Each ship’s parts are individually bagged so if you are not building both at the same time, the other ship’s parts won’t be loose in the box. Clear parts are provided for the engine domes of the Bird-of-Prey. Red and green clear parts are provided for bridge lights for the D-7 cruiser. There are chrome-plated parts for various details of the D-7 cruiser. The chrome parts are separately bagged with tissue paper to protect them from scratches. There are two sheets of decals (one for each ship). The D-7 battlecruiser’s sheet includes alternate marking for a Klingon ship. Two display stands are included.
