The US was 5th in the world for icebreaker capability, now 8th or 9th. We're pathetic. The Russians have complete dominance in the field - quite naturally, since their ocean access is ice-bound most of the year.

Lol. My son retired as a Coast Guard Master Chief. He made Chief in Seattle.
@danalan Hee! I love the Coast Guard. It makes me really sad. We need more ships built here and more cable guarding and more merchant marines.
