March 10, 2016 - The USS Hartford (SSN-768), a U.S. Navy Los Angeles-class
nuclear-powered fast attack submarine, surfaces near Ice Camp Sargo during ICEX 2016
in the Arctic Circle with scenes of its ice breaching from
the ground and air along with sailors clearing ice blocks
from its tower and deck.
ICEX, a biennial, multi-week
exercise sponsored by the Navy's Arctic Submarine
Laboratory, is designed to test submarine capabilities in
the Arctic ... as well as provide a base camp for cooperative
scientific research. The temporary camp sits on a thick
piece of floating sea ice approximately 200 miles north of
Barrow, Alaska.
