CHEROKEE NAVAJO Class tugboat
 

The Cherokee class of fleet tugboats, originally known as the Navajo class, were built for the United States Navy prior to the start of World War II. They represented a radical departure from previous ocean-going tug designs, and were far more capable of extended open ocean travel than their predecessors. This was due in large part to their length of 205 feet, 38 feet beam, and substantial fuel-carrying capacity. They were also the first large surface vessels in the United States Navy to be equipped with Diesel-electric drive

This primarily wood Cherokee/Navajo class tugboat model was commissioned in 2012 by a mariner who served on the USS Sioux (AT-75), a Navajo-class fleet tug of the United States Navy that saw service during World War II, and in the Korean and Vietnam Wars.

To commission one, please contact us.
