Original illustrated cardboard box contains 28.5" long plastic battery-operated ship. ©1964 Ideal Toy Corp. Printing on box is slightly off-register as produced and box has all-over slight fade (mainly to red areas). A few small stickers at one corner. Scattered color rubs and corner tip wear. Fine. Boat has a variety of features that lead to "An Innocent Freighter Rapidly Changes Into A Fully Armed Fighting Warship." Features include - hidden manually-fired rockets, depth charges and torpedoes; lever controls in stern allow ship to move forward and backwards, expand ship to full length and open battle hatches; spinning radar tower and steer controls. Some functions work well while others require a bit of coaxing as this is an unused example, having sat in box since production. Complete w/sealed bags of parts/accessories, instruction sheet and all cardboard box inserts. Ship displays NM. Rare in this choice condition.
