They are mint and carded.
Los Angeles Class SSN -The Los Angeles class SSNs with their improved quieting, increased operating speeds, sophisticated command and control systems, highly accurate sensor suites, and advanced weapons systems are among the most advanced submarines of their type in the world. Designed primarily for Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) escort duties they provided anti-submarine warfare (ASW) defense against Soviet submarines as well as the ability to attack capital ships in a Soviet surface action group (SAG).
While ASW is still their primary role in addition to their Mk 48 and ADCAP torpedoes the Los Angeles class SSNs are armed with Tomahawk cruise missiles for precision land attack missions. Their stealth, speed, mobility and endurance also makes them ideal for covert missions, such as deploying special forces, and the later ships, SSN 751 through SSN 773, are capable of laying mines from their torpedo tubes. In common with all submarines operated by the US Navy today the Los Angeles class are powered by a pressurized water reactor coupled to steam turbines which allows them to remain deployed and submerged for extended periods of time. They carry sufficient supplies to support a crew of over one hundred personnel for up to 90 days and are equipped with sophisticated atmosphere control systems to replenish oxygen and remove carbon dioxide as well as two distilling plants to convert sea water to fresh water for drinking, washing, and other uses.
Ohio Class SSBN -The sole mission of the Ohio class fleet ballistic missile submarines (SSBN), which were designed to replace the US Navy's aging Polaris submarines, is to provide strategic deterrence with the fourteen Trident armed boaats carrying approximately 50% of US strategic nuclear warheads. They are the largest submarines ever built for the US Navy, second only in size to the Russian Typhoon Class SSBN's, and were designed specifically for extended deterrent patrols providing America's most potent and survivable nuclear strike capability. Every Ohio class SSBN is at sea at least 66 percent of the time, including major overhaul periods of twelve months every nine years, and each submarine is assigned two crews, designated Blue and Gold, with each crew operating the ship on a 95 day deployment cycle comprising a 70 day combat patrol and a 25 day transfer period. To reduce time in port for crew turnover, replenishment and maintenance the ships are fitted with three large diameter logistics hatches to facilitate rapid loading of supply pallets, replacement equipment modules and machinery components as required. The Ohio class have a double hull design with a streamlined outer hull enclosing a cylindrical pressure hull structure of HY-80 steel which is supported by circular frames and enclosed by hemispherical heads at both ends. The outer hull was designed specifically for efficient cruising underwater, enabling the ship to move quietly through the water at high speeds, while the pressure hull was designed to provide an enclosure with sufficient strength to enable the ship to operate deep enough to avoid easy detection while providing enough space for weapons, crew, and equipment.
The fourteen Ohio class SSBN's armed with Trident II D5 provide the sea based leg of America's nuclear triad of strategic deterrent forces. Each ship carries 24 Trident II D5 missiles each of which has eight multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs) allowing each Ohio class SSBN to designate a total of 192 targets. All missiles can be launched in less than one minute.

Here is a model of S117 HMS Tireless of the Trafalgar Class from the Limited Edition issue by Tri-ang Minic Ships. One of 4 models made. It is mint and unboxed. Length 2.75 inches or 70mm The submarine number on the conning tower says S117 although the real boats had no numbers painted and Tireless was S88 The correct name is diecast underneath. Tri-ang code N792 and or P785 Trafalgar Class SSN -Originally designed for Cold War operations in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic the Trafalgar Class was a follow on from the Swiftsure Class but both faster and quieter. The principle role of these "hunter-killer" vessels is to attack ships, other submarines and support a convoy or taskforce. The Trafalgar Class are fitted with cameras and thermal imaging systems that allow them to be used in a surveillance role. 5200 tons length 85 metres.
Here are is a model of S118 HMS Torbay of the Trafalgar Class from the Limited Edition issue by Tri-ang Minic Ships. One of 4 models made. It is mint and unboxed. Length 2.75 inches or 70mm The submarine number on the conning tower says S118 The correct name Torbay is diecast underneath. It should of course say S90 on the conning tower although numbers are not put on conning towers. Hmm Tri-ang code N793 and or P785 Trafalgar Class SSN - Originally designed for Cold War operations in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic the Trafalgar Class design was a follow on from the successful Swiftsure Class but incorporated many improvements making them both faster and quieter. The hull of is covered by anechoic tiles to absorb sonar signals and noise reduction is achieved through the pump jet propulsion system which is a multi blade rotor turned by a jet of water that is quieter than a conventional propeller. The lead ship HMS Trafalgar was completed in 1983 before the pump jet propulsion system was ready and has a seven bladed propeller instead. Like previous British nuclear submarines the Trafalgar Class boats have a "teardrop hull", the fin has been strengthened and the hydroplanes can be retracted to allow the submarine to surface through ice. The principle role of these "hunter-killer" vessels is to attack ships and other submarines and in this capacity they could support and protect a convoy or taskforce. With the fitting of the Tomahawk cruise missile system they will also be capable of a land attack role. The Trafalgar Class are fitted with cameras and thermal imaging systems that allow them to be used in a surveillance role. 5200 tons length 85 metres. .
Here is a model of S107 HMS Trafalgar lead submarine of the Trafalgar Class from the Limited Edition issue by Tri-ang Minic Ships. One of 4 models made. It is mint and unboxed. Length 2.75 inches or 70mm. Impressive and very detailed and with the submarine number on the conning tower. Tri-ang code N790 and or P785
