Yes, let’s all join in… that song by Bing Crosby… “Oh the weather outside is frightful…”
Yes, sleet is falling atop the three inches of snow…which I have not shoveled…
Homestead, “Forevermore by the Bay”, Masons Beach, Waterfront, Section E, three and four ( Section E, Lots 3&4 with Private Pier!) Deale, Maryland 20751. Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay…America, East Coast, the USA…
On my Hospital Bedroom Window shelf is a mother of pearl purse given to me by my Aunt Shirley. I reminded her of the young Nancy Regan. I could sing and dance too, just like Aunt Shirley! Broadway New York and Hollywood, and HBO are in our Family, the Schneider, Jewish genes as well as the Blake Sottish genes! Thank you for posting, I’ll watch now! Nurse Jane
“…unless you are in the Free State of Florida where the high is expected to hit 80F or so.”
Depends upon which part of The Free State of Florida you’re in. But that’s ok. Once you pass Orlando, the further south you go, the more northeasterner you get 😉
Let's get some new hulls wet first, before we even dream-up a more capable version. Right now US shipyards don't even know what ice hardening is or where to start.
I can go with that . . . BUT . . . the shipyards should reconize what is required for Arctic Operations, and the Navy should give them a heads up. WE KNOW we will have to send vessels up there, and the new FF(X) does not have a SQS-53 in a rubber window under the bow. So it is the obvious choice for Arctic Operations moving with the Polar Security Cutters. It is a shame the FF(X) will not be able to defend the PSC against air threats in its current configuration.
The steel industry must be prepared for this eventuality/requirement as well.

The U.S. Navy NEEDS to consider Ice Hardened Hulls for Arctic Capable Surface Combatants. New construction is the obvious choice for emphasis.
The U.S. also needs to petition membership in NORDEFCO. Greenland base input alone would be worth the effort.

Down here in the deep south, we survived winter storm Fern and yes we shall rebuild since we all have a good supply of toilet paper. milk and bread.
Seriously though for all who did get bad winter weather hang in there spring is coming.
I recall Norfolk while going through a school there the base was covered in three feet of snow and ice was hanging off ships and buildings.
