[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;37645127]A Russian icebreaker? Somehow this makes me think about Titanic...[/QUOTE]
The titanic was a Luxury liner not a ship with a re-enforced hull built for smashing ice.
Nuclear powered ships are pretty cool
AFAIK most other nuclear ice-breakers can't sail in warmer waters, simply because the water isn't cold enough to cool the nuclear reactor sufficiently.
But that defeats their purpose anyway, so no worries.
Never knew they built nuclear powered icebreakers, you learn something new everyday I guess.
