In May 1881 US explorers approached Jeannette Island, Wrangell Island and Henrietta Island in the Arctic Ocean and claimed them for the United States.
But according to the Obama Department of State no claim exists today over these US islands.

Wrangell and its 200 mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) has billions of barrels of oil/gas reserves and hundreds of millions of pounds of fisheries. It also has a strategic military location for tracking Russian moves in Arctic.

I don't have affection for Rocketdyne because they make engines to for nuclear missiles.
I have had affection for them since I was a little boy because they make the engines that have taken us to the moon and Mars, and maybe will again.

Oops I meant Wrangel island (with one ‘l’) is Russian.
