The Commandant on the Arctic
First and foremost, we don’t have the capacity we need to operate in the Arctic ...
The one area I lose sleep over is the fact that the Polar Star is down in McMurdo, Antarctica. It is a 39-year-old ice breaker, and God forbid they suffer a major engineering casualty (causing it to become) set in ice because the United States doesn’t have another ice breaker that can go into a heavy ice environment (for the) rescue.
