Jessica Worst, commander of U.S. Coast Guard Forces Micronesia/Sector Guam, Cmdr. Ryan Adams, of Coast Guard District Oceania's waterways division, and Capt. Todd Wimmer, commanding officer of U.S. Coast Guard Base Honolulu, aboard the 225-foot Juniper-class seagoing buoy tender, upon arrival to its homeport in Guam on Jan. 14, 2026, following a more than 13,000-mile transit over 71 days from the U.S. Coast Guard Yard in Baltimore through the Panama Canal. After an extended Major Maintenance Availability at the Yard, part of the In-Service Vessel Sustainment Program that modernizes the entire Juniper-class fleet with hull repairs, system upgrades, and replacement of obsolete equipment, the Hickory is now fully revitalized.
