USS WILLIAM P. LAWRENCE DDG 110

USS William P. Lawrence (DDG-110) is an Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer built by Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding. She is the 60th ship in her class. 

On 10 May 2016, William P. Lawrence sailed close to the Fiery Cross Reef, as part of a planned series of Freedom of navigation operations, in the area. A Pentagon spokesperson said that the operation was undertaken to challenge the "excessive maritime claims by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam which were seeking to restrict navigation rights in the South China Sea.



On 22 September 2013, a large wave hit a helicopter and pushed it into the Red Sea shortly after landing on William P. Lawrence, resulting in the death of two pilots. The vessel was moving at flank speeds to relieve another escort ship in a defensive screen around Carrier Strike Group 3. The wave came over the starboard side of the flight deck and struck the helicopter less than ten minutes after landing, with rotors still spinning. The other three aircrew members were rescued.

William Porter Lawrence (January 13, 1930 – December 2, 2005) was a decorated vice admiral and Naval Aviator who served as Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy from 1978 to 1981. Lawrence was a noted pilot, the first Naval Aviator to fly twice the speed of sound in a naval aircraft. During the Vietnam War, Lawrence was shot down and spent six years as a prisoner of war, from 1967 to 1973. During this time, he became noted for his resistance to his captors.

This primarily wood William P. Lawrence ship model was built for the XO of the ship in 2023. It is 31" long (1/200 scale.) We also build it at 18" long (1/350 scale) and 42" long (1/144 scale.) Please email us for quotes.

If you are a sailor on the ship and want some specific features on your model, just let us know and we will do it to your heart's content.
