Download Unknown Waters: A First-Hand Account of the Historic Under-Ice Survey of the Siberian Continental Shelf by USS Queenfish AudioBook Free
This audiobook tells the story of the brave officers and men of the nuclear strike submarine USS Queenfish (SSN-651), who made the first review of an exceptionally important and distant region of the Arctic Ocean. The unpredictability of deep-draft sea glaciers, shallow water, and possible Soviet breakthrough all performed a dramatic part in this fascinating 1970 voyage. Covering 3,100 a long way over a period of some 20 days at a laborious average speed of 6.5 knots or less, the strike submarine carefully threaded its way through countless underwater canyons of glaciers and over irregular seafloors, at one point becoming entrapped in an "ice car port". Only cool thinking and skillful maneuvering of the practically 5,000-ton vessel enabled a successful leave. The most unsafe stage of the voyage commenced 240 nautical a long way south of the North Pole with a detailed hydrographic survey of your almost totally uncharted Siberian shelf, from the northwestern nook of the seriously glaciated Severnaya Zemlya Archipelago to the Bering Strait via the shallow, thickly ice-covered Laptev, East Siberian, and Chukchi seas. The skipper of the Queenfish have been trained and determined by Admiral Hyman Rickover and, encouraged by this polar experience, McLaren became one of the world's primary Arctic scientists, learning first at Cambridge College or university and then obtaining his doctorate in physical geography of the Polar Areas from the College or university of Colorado at Boulder.
