During her service in the Coast Guard she was nicknamed Hval-Týr by the Icelanders and Moby Dick by the British. Between 1987 and 2006, while commercial whaling ceased in Iceland, the ship remained unused at pier but the recommencement of whaling in Iceland brought it back into action. As of 2022, the ship remains active. (en)
