The Takom 6006 USS ABSD-1 Large Auxiliary Floating Dry Dock model in 1/350 scale is a detailed replica of the United States Navy’s large auxiliary floating dry dock, designed especially for warship model enthusiasts and military collectors. This plastic model kit accurately reproduces one of the most important support structures for the US Navy fleet during World War II, with the ability to present it in a realistic diorama.

The USS ABSD-1 (Advance Base Sectional Dock) was the first in a series of large floating dry docks used by the American fleet from 1943, primarily in the Pacific area. It served as a key technical facility, enabling rapid repairs of battleships, cruisers, and aircraft carriers without having to return to a permanent base. It was composed of 10 joined sections that could be towed as individual modules and then assembled at the final location—e.g., at the Ulithi or Guam bases—to create a dry dock able to lift ships of up to 90,000 tons!
