    240222-N-ZB499-1021 SAN DIEGO (Feb. 22, 2024) From left, Fred Blas, Bob O’Neill, Jun Peralta, modelers retired from Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, and Ben Wong, modeler at NIWC Pacific, pose behind a brass model of USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) in the ship model shop at NIWC Pacific in San Diego, Feb. 22, 2024. Among the four of them, Wong and his predecessors have ruled the Center’s ship model shop for half a century, where they’ve built dozens of brass model ships used for validating antenna configurations on real Navy ships 48 times the models’ size before any metal is cut in the shipyard.
