They report that USS Little Rock (LCS-9), a Freedom-variant littoral combat ship, is spending the winter in Montreal because it was commissioned in Buffalo, New York on December 16th and couldn&#8217;t get through the St Lawrence Seaway to join the fleet before it froze over.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cSignificant weather conditions prevented the ship from departing Montreal earlier this month and icy conditions continue to intensify,\u201d a Navy spokesperson told USNI News.<br \/>\n\u201cThe temperatures in Montreal and throughout the transit area have been colder than normal, and included near-record low temperatures, which created significant and historical conditions in the late December, early January timeframe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A sustained blast of Arctic air that extended from late December into January caused ice to form faster than normal within in the Seaway, according to the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corp., the agency established by the Canadian government to manage the Seaway. The Seaway closed for the season on January 11. Typically, the Seaway is open between March and December.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Who could have guessed that weather would have prevented the ship from making passage through those icy waters in Winter? You know, besides everyone. I hope our nation&#8217;s enemies hold off on any nefarious plans until Spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobo sends us a link from USNI.
