Near the North Pole (Apr. 27, 2003) -- During Exercise ICEX
2003, the Seawolf-class attack submarine USS Connecticut (SSN
22) surfaced and broke through the ice. This polar bear,
attracted by the hole which can be used to find food, was
seen through the sub's periscope and these photos were
captured as the image was projected on a flat-panel display.
After investigating the Connecticut for approximately 40
minutes, the bear left the area, with no damage to the sub
or to the bear.

San Diego, Calif. (Oct. 4, 2002) -- A Search and Rescue (SAR)
swimmer prepares to jump from an SH-60B “Seahawk” helicopter
assigned to the “Saberhawks” of Light Helicopter
Anti-Submarine Squadron Four Seven (HSL-47), as another SAR
swimmer waits in the water during the routine training
exercise. The “Seahawk” is a twin-engine helicopter used
aboard cruisers, destroyers, and frigates for anti-submarine
warfare, search and rescue, drug interdiction, anti-ship
warfare, cargo lift, and special warfare operations. SAR
swimmers provide naval units the ability to rescue downed
aviators or mariners in distress at a moment’s notice.
