GYRE is a 1973 research vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 9 inspections since 2016, most recently in August 2023, along with 5 deficiencies — 1 with no resolution recorded —, 1 operational control and 1 casualty investigation in 2012.
Records from 2012 to 2023. Most recent: inspection, 28 August 2023.
The 9 inspections in the strip above, split by the kind of activity the US
Coast Guard recorded. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record exists, not
years in service. What Maury does not do.
This record may be incomplete: the most recent inspection recorded for this vessel was 3 years ago. Maury shows what the Coast Guard recorded, not whether the vessel has been inspected since, is still in service, or what condition it is in. Coast Guard record current through 23 August 2026, retrieved 5 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Research Ship class in Maury's sources begin in 2016.

Ownership record
