Nation s Sole Heavy Icebreaker Arrives In Unalaska, Prepares To Patrol Arctic Waters

4:21 The Polar Star sits in the Port of Dutch Harbor. The ship is nearly 400 feet long and can break ice up to 21 feet thick. The ship arrived with 136 crew members on Tuesday for a pit stop 30 days into a months-long deployment to the Arctic to assert maritime sovereignty and security in the far north. The Arctic is incredibly important to us strategically, because of the amount of gas and oil and resources, as well as the fish stocks, which are landed here in Unalaska, said Capt. Bill Woityra, the cutter s commanding officer. These are absolutely U.S. sovereign resources, and we desperately need to protect them against foreign actors, whether it s foreign fishing fleets or it s foreign adversaries that are seeking to push the limits of international law and claim those things for themselves.
