Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:USS Annapolis ICEX.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on July 19, 2011.

Picture of the day

USS Annapolis, resting in the Arctic Ocean after surfacing through three feet of ice during Ice Exercise 2009 in March 2009. The two-week training exercise was used to test submarine operability and war-fighting capability in Arctic conditions, and also involved the USS Helena, the University of Washington and personnel from the Navy Arctic Submarine Laboratory.Photo: Petty Officer 1st Class Tiffini M.
