In post-Cold War times, the US military has mainly operated at such high latitudes with aircraft or submarines. 75° in the Norwegian Sea is north of Bear Island and the northeastern coast of Greenland.
The Navy’s Arctic Service Ribbon was awarded to «USS Roosevelt» on July 28, the U.S. 6th Fleet informs.
The 6th fleet sails Europe and Africa but has this spring and summer had a high-profile on Arctic waters, including first voyages into the Barents Sea since the late 1980s.
