Coast Guard Cutter Healy conducts Arctic patrol in support of the Office of Naval Research [Image 12 of 84]
ARCTIC OCEAN – Joe Talbert connects a chain to a sinker weight on the stern of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) Sunday, Sept. 23, 2018, approximately 300 miles northeast of Barrow, Alaska. The sinker weight will sit on the bottom of the Arctic Ocean and is used to keep sensors in place while a floating buoy sits on top of the water. Talbert is one of approximately 30 scientists aboard the Healy researching stratified ocean dynamics in the Arctic for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy, which is homeported in Seattle, is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting research in the Arctic.
