Retractable Helicopter Hangar on Board the USCGC Northwind. A starboard broadside view of the Coast Guard icebreaker Northwind shows her newly installed telescopic helicopter hanger in closed extended position. The icebreaker is seen here en-route to the Bering Sea and Arctic on an extended mission which will keep her away from her homeport in Seattle for a few months. During that time the hanger will receive initial experience in colder weather operations.
