Here's another rare subject, now available in kit form, the US Navy's Great Lakes training carrier, USS Wolverine, from Blue Ridge Models:

It's in resin, with PE details.
I don't think she's ever been kitted before, though there was a fantastic scratchbuild featured several years ago in FineScale. That project was in 1/72, if I'm not mistaken.
Wolverine and her sister, USS Sable, were former civilian side-wheel steamers that the Navy converted to carriers and employed to train carrier aviators, on the Great Lakes.
I can see getting this for my collection of US carriers in 1/700.
