Ha, ha!! As if!
Right!? You haven't lived until you've been on a FRAM II Gearing class destroyer in the middle of the Bering Sea in January. The stories are epic.
I've been in a walrus hide boat in the Bearing Sea but it wasn't January.. The ice pack doesn't leave until April or May Most years we were iced in from November to April or May. Spring whale hunt was the end of April.
You were north of where we were I bet. We weren't hunting whales. Us engineers rigged steam lances to cut the ice off the superstructure. It's kind of scary when the roll of a Destroyer starts getting sluggish.

Bitch, please!
