Another reason why the US needs to build some serious new bigassed icebreakers

@coldduck

Chouest supposedly spent 200 on the Aiviq. I would think that we should easily be able to build a heavy icebreaker that is non DP and not an anchor handler for 450.

everyone here knows how I feel about Gary Chouest however as a taxpayer I would like to see North American Shipbuilding be allowed to bid on the contract to build these new USCG icebreakers. Bet that billion each comes down to $700M pretty darned quick!
