    @Dr Disconect First: I was fishing for bot responses (bait = 'Russia'), so thanks for biting. Second: Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union in 1986, so thanks for splitting that hair. Third: Chernobyl isn't the only leaking nuclear reactor in Russia (or the former Soviet Union) e.g. there are plenty of decommissioned nuclear subs with reactors still in them, afloat in Russian Navy harbors. Fourth: by 'the area around Georgia' (which is an independent country, but not for long, right Vlad?), I guess you included the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula? Fifth: it was a throw-away comment/joke building on the theme started by the OP, not a PhD dissertation.

    Actually there were at one time four Ice Breakers in the U. S. Fleet, The Coast Guard Cutters: Polar Star (pictured when stated there are only two) Polar Sea, Healy, and Mackinaw. The Polar Star, Sea, and Healy are used primarily in the Arctic and Antarctic missions while the Mackinaw is used exclusively in the Great Lakes to maintain shipping lanes. The Polar Sea had lost four of it's six Main Diesel Engines and is scheduled for decommission due to the cost of repairs.

As for getting on a CG Icebreaker all you need to do is be eligible to serve on any other cutter and pass an overseas health screening. I was assigned to it straight out of boot camp. I was basically trained with a secret security clearance, which is what you need to serve on any cutter in the fleet.
