Coast Guard Cutter Healy conducts science missions in Beaufort Sea
A Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB 20) crew member conducts repairs following a jacket water leak on a main diesel engine by disassembling the connecting rod from the crank shaft, removing the cylinder liner, and locating the source of the leak aboard the cutter in the Beaufort Sea, Aug. 10, 2023. Having all engines available for use is critical to the Healy’s ability to produce adequate power to break multi-year ice while simultaneously operating powerful deck and science equipment.
