Does anyone know of any models of any of the ships in the fleet?

I've found the Trumpter 1/350 Langley and a 1/700 of the Omaha class cruiser (Marblehead) by Corsair.

Does anyone know of any others? USS Houston, any of the Clemson class DDs or any auxiliaries?
 
what preferred scale & whether injection molded, resin or 3d printed?
 
is that the seaplane tender Langley or the aircraft carrier version as the carrier version never served with the Asiatic Fleet?

1/700 preferred, I'd look at options.

Flyhawk released a waterline 1/700 offering of USS Ward DD-139 that is an absolutely gob-smacking little gem of a model, especially with a bit of deft weathering and some 3D-P crew figures. Take a look. (Not sure who to credit for this diorama but he deserves major props. I wouldn't swear to it in court but I believe the Pacific Ocean is represented with AquaGel.)

Thanks for the Houston and Ward options.

Anyone know of any models of the auxiliary ships of the fleet?
