CCGS ''Sir Wilfred Grenfell'' is a Canadian Coast Guard vessel based in St. John's, Newfoundland. An ''Offshore Ice Strength Multi Patrol Vessel'', the vessel is named after the medical missionary in Labrador, Sir Wilfred Grenfell. ''Sir Wilfred Grenfell'' was built in 1987 by Marystown Shipyard Ltd., in Marystown, Newfoundland. She was originally laid down as an offshore supply vessel but was subsequently purchased by the Canadian Government and converted for Coast Guard service. She played an important role in the Turbot War. ==In popular culture== In the novel ''World War Z'', by Max Brooks, the ex-''Sir Wilfred Grenfell'' has been decommissioned and is at Alang, India awaiting scraping. The still functioning ship is used to rescue people escaping from the zombie hordes. It also appeared in the novel ''The Wheel of Darkness'' by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child as an ice-strengthened Canadian Coast Guard cutter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CCGS Sir Wilfred Grenfell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
