Synopsis
Polar icebreakers can operate in the extreme conditions of, and break through the thick ice found in the Arctic Ocean and the waters surrounding Antarctica. This book examines the issues facing the U.S. Congress on whether it will approve or modify the Coast Guard's plan for modernising its polar icebreakers., Polar icebreakers can operate in the extreme conditions of, and break through the thick ice found in the Arctic Ocean and the waters surrounding Antarctica. Congress has expressed concern about the Coast Guard's ability to meet its polar operations mission requirements in light of the condition of the Coast Guard's polar icebreaker fleet, and directed the Coast Guard to submit a comprehensive report on polar operations. This book examines the issues facing Congress on whether it will approve or modify the Coast Guard's plan for modernising its polar icebreakers. Congressional decisions on this issue could affect the Coast Guard's ability to perform its polar missions, funding requirements and U.S. shipbuilding industrial base. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

    The shipping was quick and arrived on time. Packaging was protective, and the item was not damaged during shipping or transit. The magazine was sealed, brand new, and exactly as pictured. This Cinefantastique June/July 2004 Spider-Man issue is rare and in excellent condition, making it worth the value. Only suggestion: bag and board items like magazines or books. Great seller communication. Very satisfied and will buy again.

    Really happy to have received my CD!! Shipped super fast from the date I ordered, and seller was great and professional. Came secure in bubble wrap + paper padding, and the appearance is exactly as described by the item description. For a disk older than me, the condition and value of the CD is great! Highly recommend+++

    This seller could definitely do better on packaging their items, if you are buying the toys to let your kids have them that’s great but they do not package for collectors, but they want to charge collector prices. Buyer use your discretion to figure out if it’s worth the price to be just placed in a box with a little bit of brown paper to ensure it’s not damaged in shipping. Overall, I would grade them B. They shipped in a timely manner.
