II Is imperative that the ship lanes
be kept free of ice. With American
troops occupying Iceland and the
Navy using the northern route for
transportation of supplies to Russia,
ice breakers are essential to Naval
operations. The ice breaker is a
specially constructed ship with
heavily armored bows and power
full engines that crush the ice foes
rather than ram through them.
