I’d have no way to know how far north she’ll go, but folks who get in trouble are usually pretty far north. And rescue is one of the duties for Coast Guard.

On the other hand, her ship will not be the only one out there.

I’m sure there will be information when she gets there. When my dad was deployed in the Navy, they always had a plan for the cruise in advance.

Maybe she’ll visit Siberia!
