Healy Oden North Pole 2005

[@1001cranes]

It was nice taking turns with the Oden breaking ice. The constant noise and vibration would get to you after a while when you were leading. It was an awesome trip. Not too many people can say they've been to the North Pole. Oden is funny looking but effective.

And thanks to steel (and metals in general) being such good at conducting sound, for ship's crew sound is entirely different than for someone listening next to ship's path: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2XQdGdmaqpphacm13s

The water is simply cold salt water. The water acts to reduce the friction between the ship's hull and the ice.

Is the water stored i the tanks or direct pump out from sea water mixed wth salts for use pl's explain

Put the propellers at the front. They suck the ice down and smash it. The water jets lubricate. Also put hover craft at front. Wakey, wakey!

I Used to work as a captain and I dont think oden sucks. there is a reason why the us wanted her desperatly and that is her capacity to make an ice free wake she is sometimes slower then other icebreakers but she is unique in that respect. the us does not have icebreakers with that capacity..but if you compare her to russian nuclear icebreakers she does not have the same capability but she is uniqe in many ways that is why hillary clinton wrote the

It doesen´t "cut" the ice, is lays it self on top of it and crack it with it´s weight.

@Mrhassesweden fast jämfört med "50 let Pobedy" ligger hon i lä:) Hon hade väl stävat på i en 10-15 knop!

[@henrikarvidsson]

why is the US icebreaker still? Not enough power? I Used to work as a skipper in the baltic sea so I know how thought it can be to break the ice.. But the us do you have any icebreakers in the size range of Oden? regards

[@henrikarvidsson]

swedish forreign department begging we would not withdraw the Oden

[@AadolfWinner]

60%of icebreakers are made in Finland. Not the nuclear ones. I wonder If USA has nuclear icebreakers??

[@joakimwohlfeil]

ODEN is however built in Gothenburg, Sweden.

[@virtueofhate1778]

2 nuclear icebreakers have been built in Finland.
