Even the dimmest ensign in the US Navy knows this would be a bad idea.

Considering that the Resolute is "was purpose built for polar expedition cruising with the highest ice class (Lloyds 1AS)"

Meet RCGS Resolute

...sounds like that idea would be strictly DELTA SIERRA.

Just had a thought about that cruise ship rammed by the Venezuelan patrol boat. The report said that the Resolute was not carrying passengers. Hmmm...I wonder if it was in those waters in order to perform some other mission in conjunction with our military people.
