Overview
About This Vessel
USCGC Polar Sea (WAGB-11) is a United States Coast Guard heavy icebreaker. Commissioned on 23 February 1978, the ship was built by Lockheed Shipbuilding and Construction Company of Seattle along with her sister ship, Polar Star (WAGB-10). Her home port is Seattle, Washington. Polar Sea has been out of service as of 2010 due to failure of five of her six Alco main diesel engines. Between 2010 and 2023, Polar Sea has been used as a parts donor for sister ship Polar Star. In 2024, the ship was towed to and placed in mothball status in Suisun Bay, California.
