USCG Cutter Healy Returns to Seattle

Barely two weeks ago, the US Coast Guard Cutter Healy was offshore Nome, Alaska, where it had escorted a Russian tanker through 360 miles of ice to deliver 1.3 million gallons of much-needed fuel to the residents of Nome. See http://cgvi.uscg.mil/media/main.php?g2_itemId=1502057.

Today, the Healy returned to port after 254 days at sea.
