Video

Here is a video from the USCG which demonstrates icebreaking in action. It's from a USCG member while in the course of his duties so it's PD but it's in AVI format and I have no way to reformat it to the codec we are allowed to use here. It's pretty cool though.

Heavy- vs Normal vs Light-Icebreaker definition?

When is a icebreaker a heavy breaker and when is it light? Both Canadian and US icebreakers have been categorized in this way, but no other icebreakers. As far as I could tell this has to do with the Ice Class. Heavy meaning it can handle Ice Class 1A Super (extremely difficult ice-conditions) or just 1A (difficult ice-conditions) and light meaning it can only handle Ice Class II (very easy ice-conditions). I've been unable to find any good sources to confirm this though, but I think it would be nice to definition the Ice Classes.
