A brand new warship of the US Navy is stuck in Montreal, Canada for the winter, after its voyage to Florida was held up by frigid weather.

The USS Little Rock hit the water in Buffalo on Dec. 16 and set out for Mayport, Florida—home port for the 118-meter Freedom-variant vessel, Canada’s CBC reported.
