Cutter of the year, and a Storis redux

Here are a couple of interesting notes from the U.S. Coast Guard.

• The Kodiak-based Alex Haley has again earned cutter of the year honors.

• The Storis, decommissioned in 2007, was a legendary Alaska cutter. Now, the Coast Guard is bringing the name Storis back to life, applying it to a newly acquired icebreaker to be homeported in Juneau.

The Storis was actually more legendary in Greenland, before it went to Juneau. During most of January of 1944, the Storis broke ice in Greenland and searched for German trawlers. Trump may have another mission planned for this new one. Bye-bye, Juneau.
