CGC Healy pulled in yesterday having recently completed a 4 month deployment to the arctic ocean studying the affects of global warming. This ship is massive!
Underway Size!!!
Info: USCGC HEALY (WAGB 20) was constructed by Avondale Industries in New Orleans, Louisiana. Her keel was laid on September 16, 1996. A spectacular launch followed on November 15, 1997. Delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard and placed "In Commission, Special" on November 10, 1999, HEALY joined the icebreakers POLAR STAR (WAGB 10) and POLAR SEA (WAGB 11) in their homeport of Seattle, Washington. The ship departed New Orleans on January 26th, 2000, arrived in Seattle on August 9th, 2000 and was placed "In Commission, Active" on August 21st, 2000.
Yep, but it was sooooo long ago. I was actually stationed aboard the one on the right side of the frame. Here is another shot of her. She's the ship behind the Canadian one. Back in 1994, I sailed around the north American continent via the north pole and to Antarctica within the same year!
