VIRIN: 210414-N-NO901-1001 Leaving their home station of Little Creek, Va., Seabee Divers of UCT 1’s Construction Dive Detachment Alfa (CDD/A) boarded a plane to Thule Air Base (AB), Greenland. Upon arrival, they met with Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 1 from Gulfport, MS. Their mission was to establish and maintain an ice camp, dive under four feet of ice, and test construction and diving equipment in polar temperatures of -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Thule AB was established in 1953 and supports Ballistic Missile Early Warning System missions. The base is composed of Air Force, Space Force, and Danish personnel. Due to the polar environment, it served as an excellent training ground for UCT 1 to dive under the ice. UCT 1 has conducted many ice dives before, but never to this scale. The thickness of the ice, the temperature of the air, and the wind velocity were all extremes compared to what CDD/A has experienced before.
