USNS Howard O. Lorenzen (T-AGM-25) 36 Inches Ship Model

USNS Invincible (T-AGM-24) – 36-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Own a handcrafted tribute to one of the U.S. Navy's most sophisticated missile range instrumentation ships. Commissioned in 2000, the USNS Invincible (T-AGM-24) is operated by the Military Sealift Command and serves as a critical platform for tracking ballistic missile tests, supporting space surveillance, and gathering precision telemetry data. Equipped with advanced radar, communications, and electronic tracking systems, Invincible plays an essential role in evaluating missile performance and strengthening the United States' strategic defense capabilities. Its cutting-edge technology and highly specialized mission have made it one of the most important vessels in the Navy's missile instrumentation fleet.

Our 36-inch handcrafted USNS Invincible model faithfully captures the distinctive appearance of the original vessel. Each model is individually built by experienced craftsmen using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method—the same principle used in real wooden shipbuilding. We select only premium hardwoods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany, to ensure exceptional durability, fine detail, and a timeless finish.

Every element is carefully recreated, from the streamlined hull and modern superstructure to the prominent tracking radars, advanced antenna arrays, communications equipment, sensor platforms, working deck, and other signature features that define this remarkable missile range instrumentation ship. Rather than being mass-produced, each model is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a museum-quality display piece worthy of any military or naval collection.

The 36-inch model offers a larger, more commanding display while showcasing an even greater level of craftsmanship and detail. Its increased size allows the USNS Invincible's distinctive hull, sophisticated radar installations, and specialized mission equipment to stand out more prominently, making it an impressive centerpiece for an office, study, display cabinet, or dedicated collection room. Ideal for naval veterans, military historians, defense technology enthusiasts, and serious collectors, the 36-inch version delivers enhanced realism and visual impact while remaining practical for most display spaces. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a substantial museum-quality model that celebrates the innovation, precision, and technological excellence of this extraordinary U.S. Navy support vessel.

Each piece is individually handcrafted, with production typically taking 3–6 months, depending on the model's size and complexity. Throughout the process, we'll keep you updated with detailed progress photos at every major milestone, allowing you to review the craftsmanship and approve each stage before we move forward.

You'll receive photos during:

- Hull construction
- Deck detailing and superstructure assembly
- Final painting and finishing

Your satisfaction comes first. We proceed to the next stage only after you've reviewed the previous one.
