Icing by sea spray and atmospheric precipitation is a recognized problem for commercial shipping and fishing vessels. At the very worst, heavy icing can cause vessels to capsize due to loss of sea-keeping ability. Icing is also a problem in terms of preparedness for U.S. Navy vessels operating in northern latitudes. Topside components such as hatches, gun turrets, lifeboats, and fire fighting and communication equipment may be rendered inoperable for long periods of time. Crewmen negotiating ice-covered decks and stairways during high sea states that accompany icing events are at grave risk. The ability of surface coatings to reduce the adhesion strength of ice on superstructure and topside components and thereby make its removal easier is being investigated as a possible protection technique.
