Notes
  • STORED ON SITE. mchr
  • Significance: The U.S. Coast Guard Icebreaker Glacier is significant as the last remaining vessel of the U.S. Navy’s icebreaking fleet as well as the only extant diesel-electric, DC-powered icebreaker. The ship served in the U.S. Navy from 1955 until 30 June 1966 when the U.S. Coast Guard acquired it. As a polar icebreaker, the Glacier undertook twenty-one deployments to the Antarctic and another ten to the Arctic. The ship proved critical in establishing permanent American bases in the Antarctic and resupplying them annually, which fostered scientific study. The Glacier is considered a prototype in icebreaker construction.
