SEATTLE – Coast Guard Cutter Storis is scheduled to return to its homeport after 36-day patrol in the Bering Sea. WHO: Capt. Corey Kearns, commanding officer of Coast Guard Cutter Storis (WAGB 21) will be available for interviews.
The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Storis uses dynamic positioning to maintain its position near the Johns Hopkins Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Alaska, Aug. 5, 2025. The Storis is equipped with Dynamic Positioning Class 2 capabilities which provide redundancy and ensure station-keeping even with the failure of a critical component, such as a generator or thruster.
