The U.S. Coast Guard announced the award of two contracts to construct up to six Arctic Security Cutters (ASC) icebreakers as part of a security initiative.
The Trump administration has commissioned the polar icebreaker USCGC Storis, marking a historic step in Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's "mission to transform the U.S. Coast Guard into a more agile, capable fighting force ready for the challenges of the 21st century," DHS announced.
