YOKOSUKA, Japan (March 11, 2024) - The Valiant-class harbor tug Defiant (YT‑804) guides the US Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star (WAGB 10) through Tokyo Bay before arriving at Commander, Fleet Activities Yokosuka (CFAY). The Polar Star and crew contribute to Operation Deep Freeze through icebreaking to clear the channel for supply vessels. The Polar Star is a 399-foot heavy polar icebreaker commissioned; the six diesel and three gas turbine engines produce up to 75,000 horsepower. Operation Deep Freeze is the annual logistical support mission provided by the Department of Defense to the National Science Foundation (NSF) managed by the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP). For more than 75 years, CFAY has provided, maintained, and operated base facilities and services in support of the U.S. 7th Fleet's forward-deployed naval forces, tenant commands, and thousands of military and civilian personnel and their families.
