Hamilton-Class U.S. Coast Guard Cutter

1:96 Scale 3D Printable Model

Build a Legend: The Iconic “Secretary Class” High Endurance Cutter

For nearly five decades, the Hamilton-class cutters were the backbone of the U.S. Coast Guard’s blue-water operations, patrolling the world’s oceans from the Arctic to the South China Sea, from the Bering Sea to the Caribbean. Known colloquially as “378s” (after their 378-foot length) or the “Secretary class” (most were named after U.S. Treasury Secretaries), these vessels represented a revolutionary leap forward in Coast Guard capability when they entered service beginning in 1967.

Now you can build your own meticulously detailed 1:96 scale replica of these historic vessels — a 1.2-meter model that captures the essence of America’s most versatile maritime platform.
