USCGC JARVIS

USCGC Jarvis (WHEC-725) was a high endurance cutter of the United States Coast Guard, commissioned in 1972. Named after Captain David H. Jarvis, a hero of the Overland Relief Expedition in Alaska, the vessel was homeported in Honolulu, Hawaii, for much of its service. Jarvis conducted a wide variety of missions, including search and rescue, law enforcement, fisheries patrol, and military operations, notably participating in Operation Market Time during the Vietnam War. After over four decades of service, Jarvis was decommissioned in 2012 and later transferred to the Bangladesh Navy, where she serves as BNS Somudra Joy.
