DURING the World War a large number of vessels were built to protect shipping against submarine warfare. Some of these ships were known as 110-foot sub-chasers. Powered by three 525 horsepower engines, they had a speed of approximately 15 knots. After the war, many of them were sold to private individuals, used for naval training purposes, or turned over to the Coast Guard for patrol purposes. The model presented is typical of this type, and was copied from the U. S. Coast Guard Patrol Cutter Smith.

Built to a scale of 1/4" to a foot, the model is 271/2" long, 33/4" wide, and 3H" deep at the bow. The hull can be built up in any of three ways, from a solid block; bread-and-butter fashion—that is, one lift on another, or using ribs and planking. However, the latter method is difficult and should be attempted only by persons experienced in the art of ship modeling.
