Английская Википедия:Dobrynya Nikitich-class icebreaker

Dobrynya Nikitich class, also known by its Soviet designation Project 97, is a diverse series of diesel–electric icebreakers and other icebreaking vessels built in the Soviet Union. In total, 32 vessels were built in various configurations for both civilian and naval service in the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s, and several remain in service in Russia Шаблон:Asof.

Western sources refer to the Project 97 vessels using two different names: Dobrynya Nikitich class for the various icebreaker variants and more heavily-modified derivative designs, and Ivan Susanin class specifically for Project 97P patrol ships.^[1]^[2]^[3]Шаблон:Sfn

Background and construction

In the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union began developing a new diesel–electric icebreaker design that could meet the needs of both civilian and naval operators. At the time, the merchant marine relied largely on ageing steam-powered icebreakers, many of which had been built during the Imperial Russia era and would reach the end of their operational life in the coming years. In addition, the Soviet Border Troops possessed just one ice-capable vessel for patrolling the country's northern border, Project 52K patrol ship Purga, which had been laid down already in 1938 but did not enter service until 1957.Шаблон:Sfn

Technical development of the new icebreakers was entrusted to Leningrad-based Central Design Bureau No. 15, today known as Central Design Bureau "Iceberg" and part of the state-owned United Shipbuilding Corporation, which based the hull lines on the Swedish-built steam-powered icebreaker Eisbär which Germany had handed over to the Soviet Union as war reparations in 1946. Discussions during technical meetings sometimes became heated as naval architects tried to include both civilian and naval requirements into the design. One of the sources of disagreement was the bow propeller which was considered essential for icebreaking operations in the Baltic Sea and other non-Arctic waters but susceptible to damage in heavier Arctic ice conditions.Шаблон:Sfn

Once the final design had been developed, the construction was awarded to the Leningrad-based Admiralty Shipyard. The first series, which consisted of largely similar triple-screw icebreakers, was built at a rapid rate: the hulls were assembled side by side on the slipway and launched at a technical readiness of 60–80%. In 1960–1971, the shipyard delivered up to three vessels annually, often in different configurations, while simultaneously implementing various technical improvements devised during the operation of the first vessels of the series. The second series with eight twin-screw Project 97P patrol ships and one research vessel was built in 1973–1981.Шаблон:Sfn

With a total of 32 vessels built in various configurations over more than two decades, Project 97 and its subclasses are the largest and longest-running series of icebreakers and icebreaking vessels built in the world. With the exception of nuclear-powered icebreakers, they were also the only domestically-built post-war icebreakers in the Soviet Union and later Russia until the construction of Project 21900 icebreakers in the late 2000s.^[4]

General characteristics

With the exception of few heavily-modified variants, all Dobrynya Nikitich-class icebreakers had a length overall of Шаблон:Convert and a beam of Шаблон:Convert. Fully laden, the vessels drew between Шаблон:Convert of water corresponding to a full load displacement ranging from Шаблон:Convert. The later patrol ship and research vessel variants were somewhat larger than the early icebreakers. The hull form, derived from an older Swedish-built icebreaker, featured a round midship with pronounced tumblehome and practically no flat bottom or sides. While the curved hull lines resulted in low resistance and high maneuverability in ice, the vessels were very uncomfortable in open water due to excessive rolling.Шаблон:Sfn

All ships shared the same diesel–electric power plant with three direct current (DC) main diesel generators. The Шаблон:Convert 10-cylinder 13D100 (Шаблон:Lang-ru) two-stroke opposed-piston main diesel engines were in fact reverse-engineered Fairbanks Morse 38 8-1/8 diesel engines manufactured by the Malyshev Factory in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. The engines were coupled to double-armature DC generators (2 × 625 Шаблон:Abbr) that provided power to Шаблон:Convert PG-147 (Шаблон:Lang-ru) DC propulsion motors driving two Шаблон:Convert fixed pitch propellers in the stern and a Шаблон:Convert PG-146 (Шаблон:Lang-ru) DC motor driving a Шаблон:Convert propeller in the bow.^[5] During initial icebreaking trials, the icebreakers were able to break Шаблон:Convert thick level ice with a Шаблон:Convert snow layer on top at very slow but continuous speed.Шаблон:Sfn

Variants

Project 97

Three Project 97 icebreakers were built for the Soviet Navy: Dobrynya Nikitich for the Northern Fleet,^[6] Purga for the Baltic Fleet,^[7] and Vyuga for the Pacific Fleet.^[8] While initially armed with 57 mm and 25 mm deck guns, the vessels were later disarmed.Шаблон:Sfn

Project 97А

The series of unarmed icebreakers built for the Ministry of the Maritime Fleet of the Soviet Union, Project 97A, is the most numerous variant of the Project 97 family with twelve vessels built between 1961 and 1971. While initially named simply Ledokol (Шаблон:Lang-rus) followed by a running number, in 1966 they were given individual names to honor famous Imperial Russian and Soviet polar explorers.Шаблон:Sfn

Project 97D

Project 97D (Шаблон:Lang-rus) was a hydrographic survey vessel variant built for the Ministry of the Maritime Fleet of the Soviet Union to survey the Northern Sea Route. While otherwise nearly identical to baseline Project 97 icebreakers, these two vessels were fitted with additional scientific facilities, echosounders to conduct hydrographic survey, and accommodation for an additional 14 personnel. However, they were also used for icebreaking operations from time to time.Шаблон:Sfn

Derivative designs

Project 97B

Project 97B (Шаблон:Lang-rus) was a hydrographic survey vessel variant built for the Hydrographic Office of the Soviet Navy. Unlike the preceding Project 97D built for civilian service, Project 97B was a more radical departure from the original Project 97 icebreaker design with increased length and displacement to increase range and endurance, as well as an enlarged deckhouse to accommodate more personnel on board.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Asof, Vladimir Kavrayskiy remains in service with the Northern Fleet as the stationary barracks ship PKZ-86 in Murmansk.^[48]

Project 97P

Шаблон:Main

Project 97P (Шаблон:Lang-rus) was developed as a response to the renewed interest of the Soviet Navy and KGB Border Troops on icebreaking patrol ships after United States Coast Guard and Canadian Coast Guard icebreakers began appearing more frequently near the country's northern maritime borders. New icebreaking patrol ships were needed because existing Soviet naval vessels could not operate in ice-covered waters and large icebreakers, in addition to being unarmed and operated by civilians, could not be distracted from their primary mission of escorting merchant ships. Central Design Bureau "Iceberg" selected Project 97 as the design basis following positive operational experience and the difficulties associated with developing a new design.Шаблон:Sfn

Шаблон:Asof, four Project 97P patrol ships remain in service: Ivan Susanin with the Pacific Fleet^[49] and Ruslan with the Northern Fleet,^[50] both with their armaments removed,Шаблон:Sfn and Neva and Volga with the FSB Border Service.^[51]^[52]^[53]

Project 97N

Project 97N (Шаблон:Lang-rus), the final variant developed based on the Project 97 icebreaker design, was a research vessel commissioned by the State Committee for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Control of the Soviet Union to conduct scientific research in the poorly-studied transition zone between open water and the polar ice pack. In addition to adding extensive scientific facilities and additional accommodation, the hull lines were given more pronounced sheer and flare to reduce the likelihood of waves breaking over the bow.Шаблон:Sfn

The only Project 97N ship, Otto Schmidt, was in service in 1979–1991, and was sold for scrap in 1996.Шаблон:Sfn
