A MAJOR<br />
BREAKTHROUGH<br />
ARCTIC OCEAN – U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd<br />
Class Shannon Eubanks poses for a photograph about 715<br />
miles north of Barrow, Alaska. Eubanks is a crew member<br />
aboard the Coast Guard Cutter HEALY (WAGB-20) and<br />
serves on the ice rescue team to protect crew members<br />
and scientists conducting work in the Arctic. <strong>The</strong> HEALY<br />
was in the Arctic with about 100 crew members and<br />
30 scientists to deploy sensors and semi-autonomous<br />
submarines to study stratified ocean dynamics and how<br />
environmental factors affect the water below the ice<br />
surface for the Office of Naval Research. <strong>The</strong> HEALY is<br />
the only military ship dedicated to conducting research<br />
in the Arctic.<br />
