So, we are just going to ignore the fact that USCGC Healy (WAGB-20), exists? (Also can't claim to 'have not known' when the video was made/edited/uploaded, as well- as said ship commissioned in 1999, p.s. and all). As the Healy is indeed, another of our Ice Breakers. So, this video does a disservice claiming that the U.S. has only one ice breaker in service in our military/Coast Guard...<br><br> While yes, it's the only one <b>of her kind, AND the fleet is still hyper small,</b> she is, in fact, not our 'only' ice breaker, as heavily implied throughout this video! That's all, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, I hope that everyone has a blessed day/week/month/year/rest of your life!
