How to order: Please refer to the Custom-Made Ship Models Section The USCGC Cape Cross served the U.S. Coast Guard as a buoy tender, primarily tasked with maintaining navigational aids along the U.S. East Coast. Commissioned in the 1970s, Cape Cross played an important role in ensuring the safety of maritime traffic by regularly servicing buoys and navigational markers. The vessel also supported search-and-rescue missions and environmental protection efforts, particularly in the face of oil spills. Its sturdy design and operational reliability made it a key asset in the Coast Guard's mission of safeguarding marine safety. Over time, Cape Cross was retired and replaced by modern vessels capable of supporting advanced technological systems.
