Warship frozen in Montreal ice until March

The warship. USS Little Rock, is frozen in ice in Montreal, Canada.  It has been stuck there since Christmas. It will be March until the ice melts and the vessel continues on its way to its home port in Jacksonville, Florida.

The USS Little Rock is brand new. It was officially announced ready to go on Dec. 19th in Buffalo, New York.

While stuck in Montreal, the Navy said the sailors will update their training in medical, damage control, navigation, and security.
