Balao Class Submarine model. While the last boats of the Gato class were still building, a new series of 132 units was ordered in the 1942 War Program. Named after the first unit in the series, the Balao submarines were almost identical as the Gato class, but several design changes were introduced to allow rapid building, using a prefabrication system which gave the submarines greater structural strength and increased operational depth. There were slight differences in the size and displacement among the boats of this class built among the various yards, but basically, all boats of this class entering service between 1941 and 1945 were almost identical. The Program called for 205 boats, but only 195 boats were completed, some were commissioned after the war had ended. The contracts for the last ten were cancelled in late 1944.

Mahogany Wood. Scale: 1/160. Length 24 inches.

Fast and easy but I dont trust the process to be fully automated.
The process was very smooth and fairly quick. The only challenge I had was that the CLAIM status showed complete but I had to manually go look up the status. There was no email or notification it was closed. After manually checking the status, I called customer support and they said since I called in, they would process the payout. I wonder if I didnt call in if they would have processed it? Also, the phone rep said they would issue me a amazon egift card but then the next day I received a email saying they mailed out the payout. Very poor communication but so far the process was easy and fast.

Trustworthy
This protection plan is honest and true. I never purchase any electronics without it, not because I don't trust the product, but because anything can happen and ASURION has always come through when I needed them.

Prompt attention and quick refund
Awesome service. Purchased item at the end of 2023 and Asurion quickly, after return, refunded purchase price to my Amazon account. No hassle coverage. Have purchased Asurion on many purchases in the past and will in the future. Worth every penny. Saved a bunch in matters of money, quality, time and convenience.

Asurion does not honor their protection plans
Purchased a 3 year protection plan for my gaming monitor. The monitor broke after 2 years due to accidentally being dropped, which was covered under the plan. Asurion denied my claim saying they do not cover this issue. Thankfully Amazon customer service was able to help me return the monitor but this should have been handled through asurion not Amazon. If you buy a protection plan just know that asurion may not honor it if you need to use it. I have no confidence in asurion after my experience but am grateful for Amazon taking over the issue and fully resolving it for me.
