North Pole (Apr. 19, 2004) - The Los Angeles-class attack submarine USS
Hampton (SSN 767) surfaced at the North Pole. Hampton and the Royal
Navy Trafalgar class attack submarine HMS Tireless took part in ICEX
04, a joint operational exercise beneath the polar ice cap. Both the
Tireless and Hampton crews met on the ice, including scientists
traveling aboard both submarines to collect data and perform
experiments. The Ice Exercise demonstrates the U.S. and British
Submarine Force's ability to freely navigate in all international
waters, including the Arctic. U.S. Navy photo by Chief Journalist Kevin
