Vessel History The former U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Glacier is an oceangoing icebreaker that was originally designed and constructed for the U.S. Navy in the mid-1950s. In 1966, Glacier was transferred to the Coast Guard. Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi began constructing the icebreaker in August 1953 and delivered the ship to the U.S. Navy in May 1955. It was named for Glacier Bay, Alaska, and was the fourth ship to carry this name. After its initial shakedown cruise, Glacier sailed from its homeport of Boston, Massachusetts as Admiral Richard E. Byrd’s flagship bound for the Antarctic as part of Operation Deep Freeze I1 in late 1955. It reached the 1 Operation Deep Freeze I was the codename for a series of scientific expeditions to Antarctica in 1955-56. The impetus behind the expeditions was the International Geophysical Year 1957-58. IGY was a collaborative effort of 40 nations to study the North and South Poles and points in between. Their goal was to advance knowledge of Antarctic hydrography and weather systems, glacial movements, and marine life.

  • Policy Jolts in U.S. Arms Transfers: the Post Cold War Security Environment Jane Misheloff Dissertation Submitted to the Facult
    Policy Jolts in U.S. Arms Transfers: The Post Cold War Security Environment Jane Misheloff Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for a Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Administration and Policy Philip S. Kronenberg, Chair Sumner Benson Edward M. Kaitz Orion F. White James F. Wolf May 1999 Falls Church, Virginia Keywords: Conventional Arms Exports, Transfers Copyright 1999, Jane Misheloff Policy Jolts in U.S. Arms Transfers: The Post Cold War Security Environment Jane Misheloff (ABSTRACT) This research addresses the subject of conventional arms transfers in the Post Cold War Era. ("Conventional arms" herein are defined as high cost, state-of-the-art weapons systems in aerospace, land vehicles, missiles and naval vessels. ") The rapid and startling changes in the international political environment that took place in the late 1980's forced the U.S. and her Western Allies to reexamine their national defense budgets. The Bush Administration responded to the situation with new policy initiatives or "jolts" that aligned the annual U.S. Department of Defense's budget with Post Cold War realities. (A "jolt" is defined here as a sudden "shock" to a system that has the potential to alter radically one or more of its established structural components or behavioral patterns.) The word "jolt" is specifically used because while the policies reducing force strength and decreasing defense spending had been introduced on earlier occasions since the end of World War II, these particular jolts were driven by different circumstances than previous drawdowns. The Cold War that had dominated and shaped international affairs was over; the Post Cold War era promised to be a radical departure from the 50-year long status quo.

  • Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure.

  • Northrop Grumman-Built Aegis Destroyer Christened at Ingalls Shipbuilding
    Northrop Grumman-Built Aegis Destroyer Christened at Ingalls Shipbuilding June 11, 2001 PASCAGOULA, Miss., June 9, 2001 -- America's newest Aegis guided missile destroyer, PREBLE (DDG 88), was christened today at Ingalls Shipbuilding, a Northrop Grumman (NYSE:NOC) company, when U.S. Rep. Edward L. Schrock of Virginia called for increasing the number of ships built annually by seven to eight ships. Technologically advanced U.S. Navy ships like the PREBLE "will permit America to keep its commitments to defend our shores, protect our interests, shield our allies, and promote peace, trade and democracy throughout the world," said Rep. Schrock, who represents Virginia's second congressional district. A retired Navy captain who served in Vietnam, Rep. Schrock was the principal speaker at the christening of PREBLE, named for a Revolutionary War hero. "PREBLE will be able to strike at targets hundreds of miles away, while maintaining her status as the least vulnerable military platform other than a submarine," Rep. Schrock said. "She can strike her adversaries wherever they exist, whether ashore, in the sky, on the seas or under the seas, and in the future, PREBLE will be a critical part of the sea-based missile defense system shielding America and her allies from weapons of mass destruction." The congressman said when commissioned in 2002, PREBLE will join a fleet of approximately 316 ships, down from 600 ships more than a decade ago. He noted that at the current rate of construction, in the next eight years, the U.S. fleet will be reduced to approximately 180 ships. At any given time, approximately a third of our fleet is deployed, a third is en route to and from deployment and a third is at home undergoing maintenance.
