"On January 18 1960, SARGO, under the command of Lieutenant Commander J.H. Nicholson, cleared Pearl Harbor and headed north to make a submerged exploration of the Arctic Ocean.
By January 25th, SARGO had reached the vicinity of St. Matthews Island where she found ice, block and brash and where, after rendezvousing with the United States Navy icebreaker STATEN ISLAND AGB-5, she made her first stationary dive while surrounded by ice. On January 29th, she passed the Diomedes Islands and crossed the Arctic Circle; and, on February 9th, she arrived under the North Pole." (Wikipedia)
