Fir (USCG) (II)

After a journey of over 9,400 nautical miles, Fir arrived at homeport Astoria, OR and was commissioned November 8, 2003. This vessel is responsible for over 150 aids to navigation and an area of responsibility that stretches from the Oregon-California Border to the Canadian border and includes the Columbia River, Grays Harbor and Puget Sound. Fir also works with NOAA to maintain 5 weather buoys in the Pacific Ocean. Other missions include Fisheries Law Enforcement and Boating Safety, Oil Spill Response, Search and Rescue, and Waterway Security. George Schneider (May 2026) writes: This class is 225 feet in length; the length given is her registered length. PSIX gives her hull number as 113, but Marinette had built over 1000 vessels at this point.
