Zitat:Bollinger Approved to Start Full Construction of First Polar Security Cutter
The Coast Guard has given a Mississippi shipyard the green light to start full production of the first heavy U.S. icebreaker in almost 50 years, the service announced on Thursday.
Bollinger Mississippi Shipbuilding can now expand production of the future USCGC Polar Sentinel, the first in the new class of Polar Security Cutters, beyond preliminary modules that have been in production in the Pascagoula shipyard since 2023. [...] Starting in 2023, Bollinger began building eight modules of Polar Sentinel as part of a test program ahead of the formal start of construction and the finalization of the detail design of the cutter. At the time, the shipyard said each module would take about four months and in parallel the yard would acquire additional workers to help with the effort. [...]
The 23,000-ton cutter is based on the yet-to-be-built Polar Stern II, a German icebreaker, and uses a special steel called EQ-47 that can be difficult to work with. In parallel with the module work, Bollinger, the Coast Guard and the Navy have been completing the functional design of the icebreakers. The design was expected to be completed last year, according to a Government Accountability Office report. While neither Bollinger nor the Coast Guard updated the design progress, USNI News understands the functional design more than 90 percent complete.

Zitat:Coast Guard reports largest increase in enlisted in more than 30 years
The U.S. Coast Guard on Friday announced it blew past its recruiting goals for the fiscal year with the addition of 5,204 enlisted service members, the highest figure since 1991. The Coast Guard’s goal for FY 2025 was 4,300 enlistees, meaning the actual results were 121% of the target, the service said in a news release. The figures come amid the opening of seven new recruiting offices in the fiscal year. The service said it also beat goals for its count of officers and reservists, albeit less dramatically. The 777 service members added into the reserve force and the 371 newly commissioned officers made for 104% and 101% of the respective targets.
