Glad to see movement on the Arctic mobile base, however PC2 means that they will not be able to be used as command platforms in Nato tasking. Full Arctic specialists. Is that how you see it Noah? I was hoping for PC6 so we can get blue water utility out of them as well
I think Noah mentioned that just because something has a Polar Class hull doesn't necessarily mean it will have icebreaking capabilities. Also, PC2 would preclude GLAAM, which is only PC3/4. So would they be looking at an even larger hull in the 200-250m class?
