Coast Guard cutter arrives in Juneau
The Coast Guard cutter Healy is making a quick stop in Juneau after a two-month mission in the Bering Sea.
The Seattle-based Healy - billed as the nation's largest icebreaker - arrived in Juneau Sunday afternoon and will remain until Tuesday.
During its first Arctic West Summer 2008 deployment, the Healy traveled a total of more than 7,000 miles in two separate science missions.
The 420-foot Healy is the only cutter with extensive scientific capabilities among the nation's three heavy icebreakers.
It has a permanent crew of 80.
