From Dusty Rhodes: The battleship Iowa was a significant improvement over the Indiana Class. With higher freeboard, Iowa was the first US battleship designed for high seas battles. Armament layout and other advances were significant also. Iowa played a central role in the Cuban Blockage and at the Battle of Santiago de Cuba in 1898. She was slightly damaged by 152mm fire from Spanish cruisers and one of those, Vizcaya, actually struck to Iowa after receiving punishing main battery fire. After the Spanish-American War, Iowa was upgraded and continued to see duty including that of guardship at Chesapeake Bay in WW I. As a radio-controlled target ship in 1923, she was noted for deftly out-maneuvering Army aircraft. Ultimately Iowa (now Coastal Battlship No. 4) was sunk during Fleet Problem I in February 1923 by 3 x 14" hits from Mississippi. In honor of the ship's role at Santiago, a 21-gun salute was rendered as the crews of Mississippi and other BBs present lined the rails.

Sterling was a famous manufacturer dating back to the 1930/40s flying model craze. Although they continued to produce kits for decades after the flying model slump following World War II, they eventually fell victim to the general lack of interest in modeling that occurred in the early 1980s. I always considered Sterling kits to be deluxe kits compared to other manufacturers.
