Coast Guard Cutter Polar Sea visits Hawaii
HONOLULU – Coast Guard Cutter Polar Sea is en route to Antarctica for Operation Deep Freeze 2004 and will be stopping at Honolulu Harbor for a five-day port call starting Tuesday.
Honolulu is the first port of call for the ship’s 150-person crew since beginning a five-month deployment to Antarctica from its homeport of Seattle and will moor at Pier 9 Tuesday at 10:00 a.m.
The operation will be a joint effort from the Polar Sea and its sister ship the Polar Star, which left for Antarctica earlier in November.
The Polar Sea and the Polar Star will contribute to the U.S. Antarctic program that is led by the National Science Foundation. The icebreakers will create a channel, for re-supplying the principal U.S. science station at McMurdo Sound, through 10 to 30 miles of “fast” ice – sea ice still attached to the shore. Escorted by the icebreakers, a tanker and cargo ship will offload provisions and equipment so that bases at McMurdo Sound and the South Pole can stay operational year round.
Early Saturday morning, Nov. 22, the 399-foot ship arrived on scene 1000 miles north of Oahu to assist search and rescue efforts for two people who went missing from the sailing vessel Azure. The Coast Guard suspended its search at 4:37 p.m. that afternoon and the Polar Sea continued its voyage to Honolulu.
For Petty Officer 1st Class Keoni K. Galletes, a native of Kahuku, Hawaii, the stop in Honolulu will be a chance to celebrate Thanksgiving at home.
For information contact Petty Officer Jennifer Johnson at 808-541-2121.
Deep Freeze '04
Home
17-NOV-03 We departed Seattle to start our Deep Freeze 2004 operation. It was a sad day for all of us. Many of our family and friends were on the pier to say goodbye and to wish us well on our journey. For some of us it is our first time going down South. For others we have done it before and know what it takes to get the mission accomplished. We have some scheduled port calls along the way. They are as follows: Adelaide, Antarctica, Honolulu, Sydney, and Townsville.
20-NOV-2003 As we were doing our day to day jobs our Captain came over the PA system and announced to us that we were changing our course. He proceeded to tell us that there was a sail boat in danger and in need of assistance. Later on in the day we found out that there was no more sail boat. Just two people in a life raft clinging on. We are now en route to the scene.
21-NOV-2003 We received this article from the Honolulu Star Bulletin:
Friday, Nov. 21

Seeing pics of our troops at "work" gives me tinglings up and down my spine....the good kind. I'm so proud of the men and women who volunteer to serve our country!
Though this one makes me a little dizzy to think about.....you know my "love" of heights and flying. LOL!!
