Scope and content
ca. 1973. Copy of customer print ordered by Tacoma Boatbuilding in March of 1973. This is a painting of a prototype Coastal Patrol & Interdiction Craft (CPIC) sponsored by the US Navy and built by Tacoma Boatbuilding. Tacoma Boatbuilding had received a $15,000,000 contract to build three patrol ships for South Korea. Two of the boats were to be built in Tacoma, and the third in South Korea. The US Navy would conduct brief ship trials before the ship was transferred to South Korea. Displacement in tons, according to Jane's Fighting Ships 1974-75, was about 70 full load.
