In context
Every figure in this section is a count, a rank or a percentile over vessels actually held in this registry — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.
At 903 gross tons, USCGC Harry Claiborne is the 67,015th largest of the 84,014 vessels in this registry that report a tonnage. The median across that set is 5,994 GT, so this hull is about 6.6 times smaller than the typical vessel on record here. The largest measures 499,167 GT.
Among the 611 naval / patrols held here, it ranks 156th by tonnage — larger than 41% of that group. Their median tonnage is 1,325 GT, and the largest tenth begin at 23,606 GT. The flag most often flown by this group is United States (136 ships). The yard that appears most often against it is Austal, with 33 hulls on record.
United States is the country of registry for 2,278 vessels in this directory, of which USCGC Harry Claiborne is the 970th largest by tonnage. The most common class under that flag is vessels this registry holds no type classification for (977 ships), and the median vessel measures 1,706 GT. Browse every ship flagged United States.
Narrowing to both dimensions at once, this registry holds 136 naval / patrols flying the United States flag, of which 32 are larger by tonnage.
The registry attributes 4 vessels to Marinette Marine Corporation, with a median tonnage of 1,416 GT, delivered between 1998 and 2001. See the rest of that yard’s output.
IMO numbers are issued in broadly chronological blocks. Within 500 either side of 9177296 this registry holds 59 other vessels, whose median build year is 1999 and which range from 1997 to 2002. That places this hull’s registration in the same part of the series; no build year is recorded for this vessel itself.
Its IMO number, 9177296, carries its own check digit. The first six digits are weighted seven down to two and summed — 9×7 + 1×6 + 7×5 + 7×4 + 2×3 + 9×2 = 156 — and the last digit of that total, 6, must equal the seventh digit, 6. It does, so this number is well formed.
