North Pole (June 5, 2001) -- Sailors stationed aboard the Los
Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Scranton (SSN 756) explore the
Artic ice surface. 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)
