Significance: Since 1991, the Storis has held the distinction as the "Queen of the Fleet," the oldest ship in the U.S. Coast Guard. She served her country for sixty-four years, beginning service during World War II. In 1957, the Storis with USCG cutters Spar and Bramble earned the distinction as the first American vessels to circumnavigate North America, via the "Northwest Passage" – the Arctic route above North America navigable by deep draft vessels.
