When and if the Communists do elect to come out fighting again, they will find the allies far better prepared for Round 2 than they were for Round 1.

...clear a path for commercial ship ping in the Arctic, conventional ice breakers ride up on the ice and break it downward. The technique has limitations.

Often the icebreakers are halted when pressure and friction from trapped floating chunks form a vise along their sides. Now a Canadian inventor, Scott Alexander, 55, has developed a new device that breaks ice upward. The new present seagoing...
