The United States Requirements for Polar Icebreakers.
This study was performed to determine the requirements for United States Coast Guard icebreakers in polar regions for the time period 1973-2000. Of the organizations queried that were associated with economic resources and planning, none could provide any projection on rates of growth and developmen...
