The USCGC IBIS, an abbreviation for United States Coast Guard Cutter IBIS, is a high-endurance cutter vessel operated by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). This class of ship is designed for extended patrols and complex coastal and open-ocean missions. The USCGC IBIS, like its counterparts in this class, is equipped with state-of-the-art systems that allow it to conduct law enforcement, search and rescue, marine environmental protection, and national defense missions. Built at the Dakota Creek Industries shipyard in Anacortes, Washington, the USCGC IBIS was commissioned in 2019, expanding the capabilities of the U.S. Coast Guard in securing the nation's maritime borders and promoting safety on the seas.
