Abstract
CCGS Pierre Radisson, one of the R-Class icebreakers Model-scale data from the National Research Council of Canada, Institute for Marine Dynamics' water and ice towing tanks for the Canadian Coast Guard's R-Class icebreaker are compared with previous model tests and, more importantly, with three sets of full-scale ice trials data collected in 1978, 1979 and 1991. In open water, good agreement between model-and full-scale was found for bollard tests, and for self-propulsion tests provided a roughness allowance of 0.0008 was used. In ice, good correlation was found with the 1978 tests when the ship was new and there was little snow cover, using a model hull/ice friction coefficient of 0.05. Good agreement with the later tests, 1979 and 1991, was also obtained with somewhat higher model/ice friction coefficients of 0.055 and 0.065. This is attributed to a deteriorating, and hence rougher, full-scale ship hull surface. The model tests showed that a change in friction coefficient from 0.03 to 0.09 causes a doubling of the delivered power. For the full-scale ship, it is suggested that relatively inexpensive localized hull maintenance in the shoulder area, where ice jamming occurs and hence hull/ice friction is important, could improve performance and reduce the chance of structural damage.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
