Admiral Makarov (icebreaker)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Wind-class icebreaker lent to the Soviet Union between 1945 and 1949, see USCGC Southwind (WAGB-280).
Admiral Makarov (Адмирал Макаров) is a Russian icebreaker operated by the Far East Shipping Company (FESCO).[2] Completed in 1975, she is FESCO's oldest icebreaker. Admiral Makarov and her sister ship Krasin (1976), are the largest of the four icebreakers in FESCO's fleet. She is named after the Imperial Russian Navy Admiral Stepan Makarov and was one of two icebreakers involved in Operation Breakthrough, an international effort to free three gray whales from pack ice in the Beaufort Sea near Point Barrow in the U.S. state of Alaska in 1988.
