CW3 Harold C. Clinger (LSV-2) – 30-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Honor the remarkable capabilities of the U.S. Army's sealift fleet with a handcrafted replica of CW3 Harold C. Clinger (LSV-2). As one of the General Frank S. Besson-class Logistics Support Vessels, LSV-2 plays a vital role in transporting heavy military equipment, vehicles, containers, and humanitarian cargo across coastal regions where traditional port facilities may be unavailable. Built for flexibility, endurance, and reliability, the vessel supports military readiness around the globe.

Our 30-inch handcrafted CW3 Harold C. Clinger model is individually built using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method by experienced artisans. Premium Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany are carefully selected to produce a museum-quality display model that combines authentic craftsmanship with exceptional structural detail.

Every component has been carefully recreated, from the vessel's spacious cargo deck and bow loading ramp to the navigation bridge, radar masts, cranes, deck machinery, safety equipment, and propulsion arrangement. Rather than being mass-produced, every model is handcrafted individually, ensuring superior quality and lasting beauty.

Designed to carry oversized military cargo directly to shore, LSV-2 demonstrates the U.S. Army's ability to sustain expeditionary operations far from established ports. Its robust construction, shallow draft, and large cargo capacity make it one of the most versatile support vessels in military service today. This handcrafted replica honors both the vessel's engineering achievements and the logistical missions that often determine operational success.

The 30-inch model is perfectly proportioned for display in offices, libraries, museums, military collections, and executive spaces. Its practical size allows collectors to appreciate every detail without requiring excessive display space.

CW3 Harold C. Clinger (LSV-2) entered service in 1994 as the second vessel of the General Frank S. Besson-class logistics support ships operated by the United States Army. Named after Chief Warrant Officer 3 Harold C. Clinger, the ship honors his distinguished service and contributions to Army transportation operations. Like her sister ships, LSV-2 was designed to transport heavy military cargo directly to undeveloped shorelines without relying on established port infrastructure.

Over the years, LSV-2 has supported numerous joint military exercises, overseas deployments, humanitarian assistance missions, and disaster relief operations. Its large cargo deck, bow ramp, and shallow draft enable the vessel to transport tanks, engineering equipment, construction materials, and relief supplies wherever they are needed. The ship continues to provide critical logistical support for U.S. Army operations throughout the Pacific region.
