SAN DIEGO (Oct. 18, 2023) Ben Wong, modeler at Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, adjusts a miniature satellite dish on a brass ship model in the Center’s model shop in San Diego, Oct. 18, 2023. Testing antenna configurations on model ships before installing them on real ships 48 times the models’ size saves the Navy time and money by validating high-frequency radio communications coverage before any metal is cut in the shipyard.
