Arctic Submarine


03/21/2009 - The Los Angeles-class submarine USS Annapolis (SSN 760) rests in the Arctic Ocean March 21, 2009, after surfacing through three feet of ice during Ice Exercise 2009. The two-week training exercise, which is used to test submarine operability and war-fighting capability in Arctic conditions, involves two Los Angeles-class submarines, USS Helena (SSN 725) and USS Annapolis (SSN 760), the University of Washington and personnel from the Navy Arctic Submarine Laboratory.
