The U.S. Coast Guard's newest polar icebreaker, the 360-ft Coast Guard Cutter Storis (WAGB 21), transits the Panama Canal during its maiden voyage as a U.S. Coast Guard vessel, June 12, 2025. This August, Storis will be commissioned in Juneau, Alaska, the polar class 3-equivalent icebreaker's eventual permanent homeport; until the necessary shore infrastructure improvements are completed in Juneau, Storis will be temporarily berthed in Seattle, Washington, with the Service's two other polar icebreakers.
