U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Polar Star (WAGB 10) successfully passes a refloat test after the cutter underwent maintenance and repairs in the Mare Island dry dock facility in Vallejo, California, September 11, 2025. The newly painted orange stripe on the bow of the ship is a throwback to the ice breaker's original design to commemorate its 50th year of service in the Coast Guard.
