Ship Fleet On
Way To Arctic
Heading for Alaska and points
, north is a 39 ship fleet loaded with
supplies for DEW Line radar sites.
The ships left Seattle last week
bound for destinations as far north
as 1800 miles beyond Point Barrow.
The fleet will rendezvous with
three icebreakers off Icycape on
Sunday before moving on to the
Far North.
Most of the ships are of the LST
type and carry, in addition to car
go for the radar stations, some 3,000
Army troops who will unload the
cargo once it arrives at its destina
tion.
The entire task force will arrive
off Point Barrow about Wednesday
to await proper ice conditions for
the stab into the Arctic and leave
before they can be trapped there
by the briefly receding ice floods.
