F '+'WAnK/LYON , - -- ý -- nlmie DDC____ibtin U. S. NAVY ELECTRONICS LABORATORY, SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA II PREFACE The transpolar crossing of the Arctic Ocean by the USS NAUTILUS (SSN 571) during August 1958 demonstrated the capability of submarines to operate under the arctic ice pack. Consequently, the "SECRET" classification barrier which surrounded arctic sub- marine studies the past twelve years has disappeared. Furthermore, the summer and winter polar operations by the USS SKATE (SSN 578) have demonstraled the capability of the modern submarine to surface within the :ce canopy at any time. The report, "The Polar Submarine and Navigation of the Arctic Ocean," was first issued November 1948. It is reprinted without cry changes (except for the inclusion of an addendum written in May 1950), because editing in 1959 would be applying hind- sight and thus negate any lessons to be learned from comparison of i948 plans aoid programs with actual events that have followed. Pctb of the report are of historical interest only; other rarts are still pertinent to in-ice submarine operations.

This addendum is rAsummary of the more recent work and planning. The prime requirements for the submarine modification are simple to state but do con- flict with conventional problems of buoyancy and stability. The requirements are: 1. The submarine must be capable of being "topped" (under the ice) exactly anal- ogous to being "bottomed." 2. Some snorkel method capable of boring through ice. 3. Scanning sonar for under-ice navigation and topside echc sounder for vertical ascents into lakes or "topping" the boat under-ice. The "turtle-back" requirement (item (1) above) is '-ny method which permits the hull to rest underneath the ice with positive buoyancy. It is believed that the ice boring snorkel (item (2) above) presented in the subject report (figure 66) can be simplified. We are now setting up in laboratory arctic rooms a full scale pilot experiment to test ice boring methods specifically intended to aid in the design of ice snorkels. The favored method depends on warm water erosion of the ice, i. e., the boring tube consists of two concentric tubes 'i. d. of inner tube is 6 inches), with a small spacing between tubes. Warm salt water is pumped by a standard trim pump up through the spacing between the tubes and is forced through nozzles around the periphery at the top of the tube. The pressure from the trim pump will also, produce the necessary lift to force the tube through the bored hole. Fiom further studies of sea ice structure, it is expected that erosion will very effectively assist the melting produced by the warmed water. This method results in a simple, double-walled tube with no required mounting of electrical cables, connections, or devices on the tube itself. It is our intent to have realistic data from these tests available by the end of the year. The QLA scanning sonar Es been found to be the most successful sonar for evalu- ating the ice canopy and under-ice navigation.

Canada therefore needs a robust and multipurpose Royal Canadian Navy. National Magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada www.navalassoc.ca On our cover… To date, the Royal Canadian Navy’s only purpose-built, ice-capable Arctic Patrol Vessel, HMCS Labrador, commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy July 8th, 1954, ‘poses’ in her frozen natural element, date unknown. She was a state-of-the- Starshell art diesel electric icebreaker similar in design to the US Coast Guard’s Wind-class ISSN-1191-1166 icebreakers, however, was modified to include a suite of scientific instruments so it could serve as an exploration vessel rather than a warship like the American Coast National magazine of The Naval Association of Canada Guard vessels. She was the first ship to circumnavigate North America when, in Magazine nationale de L’Association Navale du Canada 1954, she transited the Northwest Passage and returned to Halifax through the Panama Canal. When DND decided to reduce spending by cancelling the Arctic patrols, Labrador was transferred to the Department of Transport becoming the www.navalassoc.ca CGSS Labrador until being paid off and sold for scrap in 1987.

    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018

    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 6: Arctic Operations Peter Lobner February 2019 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 6: Arctic Operations.

    60 Years of Marine Nuclear Power

    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 6: Arctic Operations Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955.
