North Pole (June 5, 2001) -- The Los Angeles-class fast attack
submarine USS Scranton (SSN 756) breaks through the Artic ice. For the
first time in a third of a century, Scranton was one of two U.S.
submarines to surface at the North Pole. Scranton and her crew broke
through almost four feet of ice as a part of Atlantic Submarine Ice
Exercise (LANTSUBICEX) 1-01, a three-ship exercise which demonstrated
the U.S. Navy's commitment to assure access to all international
waters. U.S. Navy photo (RELEASED)
