In fairness to the average eBay buyer, and many sellers, some model boaters (not into military ships) as well as most members of the public, the terms warship and battleship are synonymous.  %)

  USS Rudderow:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203859518535?hash=item2f76f96447:g:LlwAAOSwbDJiJhnr
Surely a Hunt class Type 3? Even the number is wrong for Rudderow.

 It''s still a kit so a silly price these days.

Not as if it is a scratchbuild like this.

Huntsman  gotta be a Joke


I hope the owner had words with the builder who built it for him, because unless he wanted a Fairey Huntsman 2831, they got it wrong.
Yes, credit where its due, a pretty impressive looking boat but, its no Huntsman 31 I'm afraid. The forward half is completely wrong for a start.
I can't imagine it selling for half the asking price personally.
I'd be tempted to remove that motor and cut my losses on the rest, selling it for whatever I could get.
But, that's just me.
