Seven Navy Ships to Leave San Diego for Alaska Mission
A group of seven U S Navy ships will depart San Diego in July for an annual supply expedition to Point Barrow Alaska. The voyage faces Arctic ice risks with no local docks and relies on amphibious unloading methods developed in World War II. Ice conditions, wind shifts, and reconnaissance lanes will determine access as cargo is discharged in under a week in mid August and the group then returns.
