The U.S.S. Cerritos is a California-class starship that is tasked with making second contact, offering engineering support and making supply runs. It's the star of Star Trek: Lower Decks, and is where Mariner and Boimler served their time as ensigns.

The Cerritos was designed by Eric Nyquist, who worked with Lower Decks' creator Mike McMahan. The design was finalized by Joseph Martinez and Bobby Walker.

The model is part of Master Replicas new range of 4 to 5-inch long die-cast models, and is accompanied by a 48-page book, which slides into the base to make a display.
