JUNIPER CLASS BUOY TENDER
An accurate model of an important Coast Guard ship

The Juniper is large. At 225 feet and 2,000 tons, she was the first cutter to fully leverage and implement many technological advances such as electronic charting, position keeping, and remote engineering monitoring and control. Juniper is also designed to skim and recover oil in the event of an oil spill.

Juniper's Integrated Ship Control System has an Electronic Charting Display and Information System (ECDIS) which enables fixing her position to within five meters every second. Her Dynamic Positioning System (DPS) uses this positioning information, the ship's controllable-pitch propeller, and the stern and bow thrusters to keep the ship on station without any human input.

These systems allow Juniper and her crew to work more buoys in less time, more efficiently and safely. Juniper's Machinery Plant Control and Monitoring System has over 1,000 sensors throughout the ship. This system makes it possible for one person in the engine room control center to monitor the ship’s plant while underway. Juniper and her crew are adept at handling various missions such as aids to navigation, law enforcement, homeland security, ice breaking, environmental pollution response, and search and rescue.

Juniper assisted in the recovery operations following the crashes of TWA Flight 800 and Egypt Air 990. She also participated in anti-terrorist and force protection operations in New York City immediately after the September 11, 2001 attacks. On February 3, 2007, Juniper participated in reef building efforts off New Jersey, deploying 160,000 pounds of concrete sinkers recovered from old buoy markers to aid in the recovery of local fish populations.

Originally based in Newport, Rhode Island, Juniper began receiving her midlife maintenance availability (MMA) upgrades and overhauls at the Coast Guard Yard in Maryland on September 25, 2019. After completion of this maintenance work, Juniper would be reassigned to a new homeport in Honolulu replacing Walnut after she began her own MMA in 2020.

This primarily wood Coast Guard model of the Juniper buoy tender is 28" long x 13" tall x 8" wide (1/100 scale) $2,790  Shipping and insurance in the contiguous USA included. Other places: $300 flat rate. This model is in stock and can be shipped within five business days.
