'''USCGC ''Healy'' (WAGB-20)''' is the United States' largest and most technologically advanced [[icebreaker]] as well as the [[United States Coast Guard|US Coast Guard]]'s largest vessel.<ref name="USCGC HEALY">{{cite web |title = USCGC HEALY |url = http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/cgcHealy |website = CGC HEALY |date = 24 May 2015 |
==Construction==
''Healy'' was built by [[Avondale Shipyard|Avondale Industries]] in [[New Orleans]], Louisiana
''Healy'' is named in honor of [[United States Revenue Cutter Service]] Captain [[Michael A. Healy]]. Her [[keel]] was laid on 16 September 1996. ''Healy'' joined the icebreakers {{USCGC|Polar Star|WAGB-10|2}} and {{USCGC|Polar Sea|WAGB-11|2}} in their homeport of Seattle,

Designed to conduct a wide range of research activities, ''Healy'' provides more than {{convert|4200|sqft|m2|-1}} of scientific laboratory space, numerous electronic sensor systems, [[Oceanography|oceanographic]] [[Winch|winches]], and accommodations for up to 50 scientists. ''Healy'' is also designed to break {{convert|4.5|ft|abbr=on}} of ice continuously at {{convert|3|kn|lk=in}} or ice {{convert|10|ft|abbr=on}} thick when backing and ramming, and can operate in temperatures as low as {{convert|−50|F|C}}.
As a Coast Guard cutter, ''Healy'' is also a platform for supporting other potential missions in the polar regions, including: [[search and rescue]], ship escort, [[environmental protection]], and [[law enforcement]].<ref>{{Cite web |title = USCGC HEALY |url = https://www.pacificarea.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Cutters/cgcHealy/ |access-date = 2024-02-22 |website = uscg.mil }}</ref>

10 April 2012: ''Healy'' received the Coast Guard Unit Commendation award for exceptionally meritorious service from 3 January to 5 February 2012, after she escorted a tanker carrying a critical load of fuel through tremendously difficult winter ice conditions to [[Nome, Alaska|Nome]], Alaska. In November 2011, a strong winter storm struck western Alaska, which prevented a vital fuel delivery to Nome. ''Healy'' delayed her return home from a six-month Arctic deployment in order to escort the Russian-flagged tanker {{ship|MT|Renda||2}} to Nome. ''Healy'' escorted ''Renda'' through over {{cvt|300|nmi}} of extremely difficult ice conditions and broke out the beset ship time after time. After many days of great exertion, ''Renda'' transferred the fuel to Nome, over the course of three days. On 20 January, ''Healy'' began the break out for herself and ''Renda''. They emerged from the ice on 29 January 2012, after successful completion of the mission. This was the first-ever winter fuel delivery from the water in Western Alaska.<ref>{{cite web |title = Seattle based ice breaker crew presented Coast Guard Unit Commendation award |url = http://www.uscgnews.com/go/doc/4007/1382727/Photo-Release-Seattle-based-ice-breaker-crew-presented-Coast-Guard-Unit-Commendation-award- |archive-url = https://archive.today/20160201221442/http://www.uscgnews.com/go/doc/4007/1382727/Photo-Release-Seattle-based-ice-breaker-crew-presented-Coast-Guard-Unit-Commendation-award- |archive-date = 1 February 2016 |website = U.S. Coast Guard Newsroom |access-date = 8 December 2015 }}</ref>
20 January 2010: ''Healy'' received the Coast Guard [[Meritorious Unit Commendation|Coast Guard Meritorious Unit Commendation]] award for meritorious service from 6 August to 16 September 2009, while conducting the Joint U.S.–Canada [[United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea]] Extended Continental Shelf Mapping Expedition. In collaboration with {{CCGS|Louis S. St-Laurent}}, ''Healy'' pushed {{cvt|150|nmi}} further north than planned and avoided $2.4 million in future expedition mapping costs. ''Healy'' also acquired over {{cvt|1000|lb}} of valuable geological samples by conducting dredging operations at depths of up to {{cvt|3|mi|spell=in}}. The rare samples were essential in establishing the origin of the targeted extended continental shelf.
12 September 2005: ''Healy'' reached the North Pole for a second time, accompanied by the Swedish icebreaker [[Oden (1988 icebreaker)]]. This was ''Healy''{{'s}} second visit to the North Pole, and the voyage was a part of the Arctic East-West Summer 2005 project which consisted of three cruises between 1 June and 28 November 2005.<ref>{{cite web |title = Arctic West-East Summer 2005 Cruise Report |url = https://media.defense.gov/2022/Aug/18/2003059694/-1/-1/0/2005_HEALY-AWES-CRUISE_REPORT.PDF |access-date = 24 October 2022}}</ref>
7 May 2003: ''Healy'' received the Coast Guard Unit Commendation award for exceptionally meritorious service from January 2003 to April 2003, while conducting [[Operation Deep Freeze]] in support of the U.S. Antarctic Program. With less than three weeks' notice, ''Healy'' was deployed to Antarctica in support of the critical annual re-supply of [[McMurdo Station]]. ''Healy'' played an instrumental role in coordination with ''Polar Sea'' in resupplying the ice station. ''Healy'' successfully escorted the freighter {{ship|MV|American Tern||2}} and the tanker {{ship||Richard G. Matthieson}}. ''Healy'' successfully escorted both ships in and out of the ice, and facilitated the delivery of resources to McMurdo Station.
23 January 2002: ''Healy'' received the Coast Guard Coast Guard Meritorious Unit Commendation award for meritorious service from 12 June 2001 to 21 December 2001, during the Arctic East 2001 Science Mission. ''Healy'' mapped {{cvt|1100|nmi}} of the [[Gakkel Ridge]], previously the only unmapped [[Mid-ocean ridge|undersea ridge]] in the world. Twelve previously unknown volcanoes and numerous undersea hydrothermal vents were discovered. {{cvt|8|ST|spell=In}} of rock samples were taken from over 100 deep sea dredges.
6 September 2001: As part of the above mentioned Arctic East Science Mission, ''Healy'', on her three-phase maiden voyage, became only the second U.S. surface ship to reach the North Pole, accompanied by the German research icebreaker {{ship|RV|Polarstern||2}}. ''Healy'' returned to her homeport, Seattle, on 20 December 2001 after 192 days at sea, which were punctuated by two port calls in ''Tromso'' Norway to exchange science teams. The second phase of the voyage, in Arctic ice, included testing of an [[autonomous underwater vehicle]] (UAV).<ref>{{cite magazine |author=Dan Everette |title=Healy returns from maiden voyage |url=http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-cp/cb/March2002/ITN.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020416013427/http://www.uscg.mil/hq/g-cp/cb/March2002/ITN.html |archive-date=16 April 2002 |magazine=Coast Guard Magazine |date=March 2002 |access-date=24 October 2022}}</ref>

2013: Arctic West Summer 2013 (AWS13) consisted of four different missions for ''Healy'', over which more than {{cvt|19000|nmi}} were covered. The first mission utilized ''Healy''{{'}}s unique over-the-side science capabilities in order to collect organisms and create an ecological picture of the [[Hanna Shoal]] region. The second mission yielded sediment samples from the [[Mackenzie River]] Basin through the use of coring devices.

Initial press reports indicated that the divers were conducting an inspection of the rudder - a routine operation - at the time of the accident, but later reports stated that the two were doing a cold-water training dive near the bow of the ship. The dive was reported to have been planned for a maximum depth of {{convert|20|ft|m|0}}. Lieutenant Hill's father, citing autopsy reports, has indicated that his daughter actually reached a depth of near {{convert|200|ft}} in what he described as an out of control descent.
