Six new ones? Maybe they can lend us one to supplement our pathetic “ice breaker fleet” which I believe (maybe mistakenly) consists of a single ship now.
I think we ought to add a few to the order (for our Coast Guard); which should bring prices down.
The Polar Star is the only heavy ice breaker. The Healy is in service but is not a heavy ice breaker. The Mackinaw is the only ice breaker serving the Great Lakes.
That makes a total of three ice breakers for the World's richest and most powerful nation. A total disgrace in my opinion.
