NOAA Ship ''Fairweather'' (S 220), originally operated by the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey as USC&GS ''Fairweather'' (MSS 20), is an oceanographic research ship operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). ''Fairweather'' primarily conducts hydrographic surveys in Alaskan waters, but is considered a multi-mission-capable vessel and has conducted fisheries research cruises. She is the sister ship of the NOAAS ''Rainier'' (S 221) and of the retired NOAAS ''Mount Mitchell'' (S 222). ==Overview== ''Fairweather'' is named for Mount Fairweather in Alaska. She was constructed for the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey as a "medium survey ship" (MSS) by Aerojet-General Shipyards at Jacksonville, Florida. She was laid down on 12 August 1963〔(Invitation to keel laying of Coast and Geodetic Survey Ship FAIRWEATHER on August 12, 1963 )〕 and launched on 15 March 1967. The Coast and Geodetic Survey commissioned her as USC&GS ''Fairweather'' (MSS 20) in a joint ceremony with her sister ship USC&GS ''Rainier'' (MSS 21) at the Pacific Marine Center in Seattle, Washington, on 2 October 1968.〔(Invitation to joint commissioning ceremony of ESSA Ships FAIRWEATHER and RAINIER on October 2, 1968 )〕〔(APPENDIX E: CLASS II HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY SHIPS, p. 8. )〕 When NOAA was established on 3 October 1970 and took over the Coast and Geodetic Survey's assets, she became part of the NOAA fleet as NOAAS ''Fairweather'' (S 220). Deactivated in 1989, the ship remained inactive at NOAA's Pacific Marine Center in Seattle for thirteen years. In 2002, she began a refit at the Cascade General Shipyard in Portland, Oregon, and she was recommissioned in 2004 to aid with the backlog of critical surveys in Alaskan waters. Her home port is Ketchikan, Alaska.
