Together, the subs will train in the icy waters, surface at the North Pole and collect scientific data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The crews will also be tested with setting up an outpost called Ice Camp Skate, a temporary camp built on a sheet of ice that will house a command center, shelters and other infrastructure to support more than 50 sailors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith every ICEX we are able to build upon our existing experience and continue to learn the best way to operate in this unique and harsh environment,\u201d said Rear Adm. James Pitts, the commander of the Undersea Warfare Development Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are constantly testing new tactics, techniques and procedures under the ice, and this exercise allows us to do so on a larger scale and alongside our U.K., joint and academic partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. subs most recently completed an ICEX in 2016. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two U.S. Navy subs will practice operating under the Arctic ice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":75983,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":26,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[160,16,36,26,164],"tags":[],"coauthors":[3498],"class_list":["post-34905","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-news-roundup","category-naval","category-newsletters","category-training-sim","category-training-simulation-report"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"KFZA67XSKBHEXK5TASL7KUXYMA","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-navy\/2018\/03\/07\/submarines-training-at-the-north-pole\/","remove_feature_photo":true,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Submarines train at the North Pole - Defense News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Two U.S. Navy subs will practice operating under the Arctic ice.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Submarines train at the North Pole\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Two U.S. Navy subs will practice operating under the Arctic ice.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/training-sim\/2018\/03\/07\/submarines-training-at-the-north-pole\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defense News\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-03-07T21:33:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-08-08T19:53:45+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"J.D.
