note The currently installed figurehead is a “screaming eagle” open-mouth version. The intent is not to replicate this version, but rather to replicate the original “stoic looking” closed-mouth version figurehead housed in the USCG Academy Museum in New London, Connecticut. A picture is located in section 4. Contractor may request access to both versions.

3.2.1.1 The figurehead shall be fabricated using either an additive method whereby material is built up such as that obtained by using a 3D laser printer or shall be fabricated using a subtractive method whereby excess material is removed such as that obtained by a laser cutter, lathe, or hand tools.

3.2.1.3 Mounting hardware. Mounting hardware shall be attached to the figurehead.

3.2.1.3.1 Mounting hardware shall be IAW para 3.4.4 and suitable to retain the figurehead despite occasional submersion in heavy seas.

3.2.1.3.2 Figures 2 and 3 in Section 4 show the mounting geometry of the existing figurehead installed on the cutter. This figurehead is not the same as the one detailed in Coast Guard Drawing 327-WIX-0103-003

3.2.1.3.3 The Contractor shall ensure that the mounting brackets to mount the figurehead to the cutter do not necessitate modifying the mounting brackets on the cutter.

3.2.1.4 Marine environment. The figurehead shall not crack, fracture, or otherwise deteriorate due to exposure to the sun, weather, sea water environment or occasional submersion in sea water.

3.2.2 Coast Guard seal. The Contractor shall fabricate the seal in accordance with the Chapter 1 and Enclosure (2) of Coast Guard Commandant Instruction Manual (CIM) 5200-14A, U. S. Coast Guard Heraldry

3.3 Colors.

3.3.1 The color for any material manufactured by the additive method shall permeate through the entire material rather than be a surface color coat.

3.3.2 Body. The figurehead shall be bright gold (FS 17043 or Pantone 16-0947 TPX) except as stated below. Gold leaf is an acceptable alternative.

3.3.3 Eyes. The figurehead’s eye shall be white (FS 17875)

3.3.4 Iris. The figurehead’s iris shall be black (FS 17038)
