I bet he is still at it. ;)

Not quite what I imagined the skipper doing.

I'd have a go if I was skipper. Great stress relief, and a great excuse to get outside for a while ;)

Deicing? I guess this "global warming" nonsense is on the way out!

Are you suggesting that they shoot the ice off? :hmm:

Yeah cool idea for sure! Gimme a Seehecht torp anytime there is any ice around! Or maximum speed surfacing from 100 m!

Ah, why not go decks awash and let it float off? :hmm:

You'd think with a nuclear reactor on board, they would think of an easier way...
