Adventures of an icebreaker: Training with Air Station Kodiak

The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy, which spent some time checking out its new engine off Shoreline, is making its way north through Puget Sound. 

Along the way, the Healy stops to conduct training exercises with Coast Guard bases on the Sound before they head to Alaska.

Crew members of the Healy will be circumnavigating North America during their 2021 deployment and we plan to follow them.
