Inside the Largest U.S. Icebreaker

[@carolhickerson7374]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!

[@sriley1081]

Extremely well done! Thank you so much for creating this much needed glimpse inside of our tiny fleet of Polar Icebreakers.

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Plankowner here. Glad to see her hard at work. Thanks.

[@johnley8168]

It's amazing how old and how few ice breakers the USA has and especially compared with other nations.

[@harrymu148]

we don't have iced seas to break, aside from around alaska. whereas russia barely has any real warm ports so they must break to make do with what they have.

Wow-The Polar Security Cutter is truly an impressive combination of sheer power and refined functionality-a remarkable flagship of the US Coast Guard. It's truly something to admire! Best regards from the German Bight !

Respect to CAPT Michael Healy and his brothers and sisters.

When i was in Coast Guard Bootcamp...I resided in Healy Hall...I learned alot about that man...

[@edcruz4905]

That is Sooo Cool

[@swandonny]

This needs more views!!

[@a.j.mendoza8708]

Way to represent the United States with class and diplomatic tact. It makes me proud as a citizen to hear about the good work that the crew of the Healy is doing and the vision for the future articulated by her Captain.

[@frisk151]

Love you Ladies & Gentlemen!!! Thank you for your dedication and service!!!

I pulled security for that boat years ago. Vigor Seattle. True story.

[@idontgiveoutname3122]

Leading intro question, "What are they dulling up there?" They are up there because the Department of Treasury and Department of Navy signed in 1965 a Memorandum of Understanding for HIGH latitude icebreaking. In the agreement, the Navy would give the Coard Guard the Russian returned WWII lend-lease ice breakers in exchange for the Coast Guard would take on the mission of HIGH latitude ice breaking. It could be argued the Dept of Transportation and Homeland Security should return the heavy ice breakers to Navy and return them the mission as well.

[@Rob-xv6bx]

You got that right, return these duties to the NAVY !

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

The U.S. Navy would just get stuck, and then who would help them out?

[@idontgiveoutname3122]

@@U.S.CoastGuard Congress, like through Title 10 funding like any other authorized and appropriated program.

Very cool 😎

What CG Ice Breaker came to Thule AB in 1979? I was stationed there and was given a tour.

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

Most likely one of the Wind-Class Ice Breakers.

[@alabamacoastie6924]

Semper Paratus!

[@christianbermudezrivas9025]

Great views!

I served aboard Polar Sea and Polar Star in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

[@chrismarks182]

My father served on the USCGC Eastwind in 66,67

[@Nates707]

Does the Healy have a law enforcement contingent on board ever?

[@user9b2]

Sliding on top of the ice to break it is way smarter than ramming it.

[@seathrunmagaoinghous4119]

when will the CGX have those gloves lol

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

We're not "cool" enough to get special gloves.

[@finleyl.2822]

Currently serving on the Polar Star ❤️. She's an old girl but she's tough. Going Aviation soon... *You should make a video on the Star*

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

Start shooting videos and request a PA! They can help create a video with the work of the crew.

[@TurtleRc]

Not ginna lie, I hate working on the Healy. Always has major issues.

[@captainamerica3814]

Go USCG Aviation. 😊

[@Jaytwotymes]

Why do they need a store?

Healy is a medium. At one time the US had so many heavy’s we lent some to Russia. USCGC Glacier was my ride to see the world. Semper Paratus.

[@Hegde-]

Nope . Puddle pirates dont count.....

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

Avast ye scallawag! The denial of truth does not make it less so.

​@@U.S.CoastGuardGive that ship to the navy. We'll take better care of her 😊......

[@SRTPVV]

lol so if u want a easy job in the army join the coast guard to be apart of the ice breaker ?

[@wound957ruralapex]

This thing sucks compared to real russian icebreakers

[@U.S.CoastGuard]

We prefer not to deal with the radiation of Russian Icebreakers.

[@wound957ruralapex]

@@U.S.CoastGuard but aircraft carriers and submarines are ok(even though it's navy)?
