USS Little Rock Stuck in Montreal, Ship Might Not Leave Until Spring...

https://news.usni.org/2018/01/19/uss-little-rock-ice-montreal

Construction started: June 27, 2013
Launched: July 18, 2015
Commissioned: 16 December 2017
Stuck in port: January 2018

I'm going to say this isn't good on somebody's part.

Nice looking ship from Google searches.

A wrist slap is forthcoming.

I guess we'll all be waiting for the next breakthrough on this hugh event. Any pictures of this ship stuck in the muck, or whatever it's stuck in?

Not a bad place to be stuck in...

I was stuck (posted) there twice in the 80's/90's.

I'm sure it won't take the sailors long to find St Catherines St.

Did you read the article? It is stuck in an iced in port. So the port is what it is stuck in, or I guess water, blocked by ice.

I'm not sure why they just don't request assistance from the Canadian coast guard hovercraft ice breaker.

The air pressure under the craft displaces the water causing the ice to cantilever (no support water).

The ice then snaps under it's own weight.

They do this early spring to avoid late spring flooding when all the ice melts at the same time.

This process sends the chucks of ice flowing down river (down the seaway) and prevents localized flooding.

I don't know why the US Navy did not pay Yellowperil a consulting fee to prevent this happening in the first place? What were they thinking?

Global Warming will free it any day now

Even this week's cold weather is probably being caused at least in part by global warming, said Jonathan Overpeck, a climate scientist at the University of Michigan.

The Arctic is warming much faster than most of the planet, leading to a dramatic decline in the amount of sea ice that covers the region each winter. That loss of ice has allowed more heat to transfer from the ocean to the atmosphere, causing a weakening of the polar vortex winds over the Arctic. Those winds usually "insulate the rest of the Northern Hemisphere" from freezing Arctic temperatures, Overpeck said. But as the winds have weakened, it's gotten easier for freezing Arctic air to swoop further south, he said.

and algor blabs on, and on, global warming like when those early explorers ship got caught up and destroyed, leaving them to live on the ice for a couple years.

You mean the ships that went to figure out why the ice floating in the ocean in polar regions was freezing up so quickly, taking sea water samples and doing saline content tests?

Some irony there, testing for something that nabs you.

From what I recall the data retrieved confirmed that things were changing even more rapidly than they had calculated. And this is why they got caught in the ice.

More freshwater in the ocean from melted ice means the ocean freezes up quicker.

Hard for some to wrap their heads around - apparently.

damn, and I thought they were looking for the North Pole

Lets think of the poor Sailors feeling lonely while stuck in Montréal, what will they do this week-end...

Ice. Really? Ice, who would have thought. In this day and age. The ice caps are melting, the sea is rising, the polar bears are gone. We're in a world of hurt.
