Cracked ice

Article Abstract:

The US Coast Guard is being forced to cede much of its polar icebreaking role to another government agency that hires foreign vessels to do the task, due to budget constraints and dilapidated ships. The nation's icebreaking fleet is becoming obsolete due to overwork, which has caused it to miss its regular maintenance cycles and deteriorate at an accelerated rate.
