USCGS Glacier docked in Lyttleton circa 1987. The ship had left its homeport of Long Beach just 3 days before Doomsday and managed to save survivors along the Northern Californian and Oregon coasts as well as Hawaii before arriving in New Zealand where it was requsitioned by the Royal New Zealand Navy. Over the next several years its long range made it useful for voyages as far afield as Europe and the US East Coast as well as early post doomsday missions to Antarctica before it was retired in 1992. It is currently a museum ship in Lyttleton Harbour
