The committee develops an independent cost estimate and advises the U.S. Congress on strategies to minimize life-cycle costs of polar icebreaker acquisition and operations. The Committee's report recommends the number and type of polar icebreakers to fund and an acquisition strategy that achieves a lower cost. The report also recommends a science-ready design for all new icebreakers and the use of an enhanced maintenance program to ensure continuity of operations for the existing heavy icebreaker.
