By Malte Humpert (gCaptain) –

Two and a half months after suffering from an engine room fire, the U.S. Coast Guard icebreaker Healy is back in action. The vessel set sail from its homeport Seattle late on October 1st.

It is expected to reach its area of operation in the Arctic Ocean around October 25 for a 10-week mission. Healy will return to Seattle no later than December 15.

According to an earlier announcement operations may be limited to ice-free waters and the marginal ice zone, with no more than 70 percent first-year ice coverage.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why do they need to send an icebreaker?  I thought the ice was melting?  Wasn't that why Global Climate Change peeps when apocalyptic about Polar Bears?
