The think the new Sir David Attenborough polar research ship has this feature (though I may be getting confused with a different vessel, an icebreaker I might have seen described on YouTube) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-54597767

Aside: The Sir David Attenborough carries the Boaty McBoatface AUV.

I think bubblers are just common in icebreakers in general. It's because you want to reduce the friction between the ship and ice.
