Figure i-2 Deck and Science Divisions recover a scientific mooring during HLY-11-03. Figure i-3 CGC HEALY escorts T/V RENDA through the ice en route Nome. ii iv Executive Summary Arctic West Summer-Winter 2011 (AWSW-11) consisted of four scientific research missions and the landmark Nome Energy Support Operation. HLY-11-01 was conducted by researchers from Stanford University and NASA using various optical tools on the ice, in the water, and in the air, to measure light properties. HLY-11-02 was a joint operation with the Canadian Coast Guard collecting data in support of delineation of the U.S. and Canadian Extended Continental Shelves. The mission was focused on multibeam sonar bottom-mapping and escort of CCGS LOUIS S. ST. LAURENT to facilitate use of sensitive multi-channel seismic equipment. HLY- 11-03 was a recurrent mission to conduct annual service of hydrographic moorings to study the Alaskan Boundary Current. HLY-11-04 marked the first ever winter research mission. Data and samples were collected to characterize the overwintering behavior of the copepod. The Nome Energy Support Operation extended the deployment to escort the Russian tanker vessel RENDA to deliver 1.3 million gallons of fuel Nome, AK. Following successful delivery of fuel to Nome, HEALY returned to Base Seattle on 05 February 2012 after 254 consecutive days away from homeport.
