Ingalls Shipbuilding Company ' s hull number 580 was laid in August 1953 at Pascagoula. Mississippi. Number 580 was commissioned in May 1955 as the U.S.S. GLACIER and was homeported in Boston. Named for Glacier Bay, Alaska, the ship became the largest and most powerful icebreaker in the US. fleet. The GLACIER held her shakedown cruise enroute to participation in the first Operation Deep Freeze during which she served as Admiral Byrd ' s flagship and discovered the largest iceberg ever recorded. Antarctic service became an annual event as the GLACIER cut channels for resupply ships, supported remote stations, and made meteorological and oceanographic observations. In June of 1966. the GLACIER received a coat of white paint and became the Coast Guard Cutter GLACIER. With this transfer in service she was transferred in homeport to Long Beach. Her heavy armament was removed and a great deal of scientific equipment installed. GLACIER ' S string of continuous Antarctic de- ployment was broken in 1970, but in thirty years of service she has sailed in support of Operation Deep Freeze twenty-seven times. Her record of service includes not only Antarctic trips, but numerous deployments to the East and West Arctic Oceans. Proud in her history and capabilities. GLACIER ' S motto. Follow Me marks her for the leader she is.
