On April 27, 2003, during the ICEX 2003 naval exercises near the North Pole, USS CONNECTICUT was stalked and "attacked" by a "hostile" polar bear when the submarine poked its sail and rudder through the ice.
The damage to CONNECTICUT's rudder was reported to be minor.

L'histoire ne dit pas si l'ours a reçu une médaille de guerre pour son acte de bravoure face à l'ennemi.
Go bears !!
