USCGC Storis, Coast Guard icebreaker in Benicia, United States.
The USCGC Storis measures 230 feet in length and features reinforced steel plates designed specifically for breaking through Arctic ice formations.
The vessel served in World War II Greenland Patrols from 1942, preventing German forces from establishing weather stations along Greenland's eastern coast.
The name Storis comes from Scandinavian languages, meaning 'great ice,' reflecting its primary mission in northern waters during its service period.
The ship underwent a conversion in 1972 from a light icebreaker to a medium endurance cutter for fisheries enforcement in Alaskan waters.
The USCGC Storis held the record as the oldest commissioned vessel in the Coast Guard fleet, serving for 64 years and 5 months.
