LEGEND CLASS COAST GUARD
An accurate model of the USCG National Securit Cutter

Legend Class cutter

The Legend-class cutter, also known as the National Security Cutter (NSC) and Maritime Security Cutter, Large, is the largest active patrol cutter class of the United States Coast Guard. Entering into service in 2008, the Legend class is the largest of several new cutter designs developed as part of the Integrated Deepwater System Program.

NSC has an overall length of 418ft, a beam of 54ft and a draft of 22.5ft. Full load displacement is 4,500t. The ship can accommodate a crew of 120.

Propulsion: The Legend-class cutter is powered by a combined diesel and gas turbine propulsion system. Two diesel engines and a gas turbine deliver a total power output of 49,875shp, provides a top speed of 28knots and an endurance of 60 days.

Features: Designed to deliver better sea keeping capabilities, the Legend-class cutter is equipped with facilities to launch and recover small boats, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles at higher sea states. Two cutter boats (a long-range interceptor and/or a short-range prosecutor) can be stored in the aft launch and recovery area.

The onboard C4 intelligence, survival and reconnaissance (ISR) system provides real-time situational awareness and enhances interoperability between naval units. The cutters feature NBC detection and defense systems to repel chemical, biological or radiological attacks.

National Security Cutter

Armament: The main gun is a MK110 57mm. It can fire at a rate of up to 220 rounds a minute for a range of nine miles. Close-in air defense capability is provided with a 20mm close-in weapon system (CIWS).

Sensors / radars: The NSC is equipped with X&S band surface search radar, EADS 3D air search radar, SPQ-9B fire control radar and Mk46 electro-optical / infrared sensor.

Aircraft: The Legend-class cutter can accommodate an MH-65C or MH-60T and two vertical launch unmanned aerial vehicles.

Countermeasures: The SLQ-32 electronic warfare system protects the cutters from anti-ship missiles in an open sea environment. The MK 53 NULKA anti-ship missile self-defense system integrates decoys / launchers, a decoy launch processor (DLP) and processor power supply (PPS). It can deceive new generation radar homing anti-ship missiles by launching autonomous decoys.

Our Legend-class cutter model is guaranteed to beat that of other makers by a wide margin. Our research powerhouse and our attention to details are unprecedented. When you are choosing a reputable builder for your favorite Coast Guard model, look for large photos showing details to verify if a model is worth the title "museum quality" as wildly claimed by some. Use a large-screen device. A phone is too small and all models appear the same or different marginally. And do not forget to look for photos of all angles. Railings, propellers, ladders, boats, radars... All these intricate details take much more time to make and require higher skill. Remember that a model that looks good from afar but might disappoint big time when held in your hands (the two-foot test.)

We can make any of the Legend-class cutter below for you.  If we have a model in stock and that model is very similar to your ship, we will place the name and number of the ship on the model. If your ship is a little different, we can add/modify the necessary parts within several days. (Nobody else can offer this kind of customization, as they are just middlemen who have no craft ability, no tools, no workshops.)
