North Pole (June 5, 2001) -- Sailors stationed aboard the Los
Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Scranton (SSN 756) are
silhouetted by the Artic sun. 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)
