Product Name: NATIONAL SECURITY CUTTERS
Manufacturer Name: HII
Product Description: The Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) is a state-of-the-art vessel designed to enhance maritime security for the U.S. Coast Guard. Measuring 418 feet in length, the NSC boasts a maximum speed of 28 knots and an impressive operational range of 12,000 nautical miles. This advanced cutter is equipped with cutting-edge command, control, communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems, alongside aviation support facilities and stern boat launch capabilities. The NSC’s design allows for a smaller crew to effectively operate the vessel, significantly reducing manpower requirements while maintaining high operational efficiency. With the capacity to remain at sea for up to 60 days and conduct vertical replenishment operations, the NSC is set to replace the aging Hamilton-class cutters that have served for over four decades.
