North Pole (Apr. 19, 2004) -- The Los Angeles-class
attack submarine USS Hampton (SSN 767) surfaced at the
North Pole. Hampton and the Royal Navy Trafalgar class
attack submarine HMS Tireless took part in ICEX 04, a
joint operational exercise beneath the polar ice cap.
Both the Tireless and Hampton crews met on the ice,
including scientists traveling aboard both submarines to
collect data and perform experiments. The Ice Exercise
demonstrates the U.S. and British Submarine Force's
ability to freely navigate in all international waters,
including the Arctic. U.S. Navy photo by Chief
