'''''Yerofey Khabarov''''' ({{lang-rus|Ерофей Хабаров}}) was a [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] and later [[Russia]]n [[icebreaker]] in service from 1963 until 1993. It was one of twelve [[Project 97 icebreaker|Project 97A icebreakers]] built by [[Admiralty Shipyard]] in [[Leningrad]] in 1961–1971.
== Description ==
{{Main|Dobrynya Nikitich-class icebreaker}}
[[File:Icebreaker “Ivan Kruzenstern” near Kanonerskiy island in Saint Petersburg.jpg|thumb|left|''Ivan Kruzenstern'', a similar Project 97A icebreaker]]
In the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union began developing a new diesel-electric icebreaker design based on the 1942-built steam-powered icebreaker [[Eisbär (1941 icebreaker)|''Eisbär'']] to meet the needs of both civilian and naval operators. Built in various configurations until the early 1980s, the [[Project 97 icebreaker]]s and their derivatives became the largest and longest-running class of icebreakers and icebreaking vessels built in the world. Of the 32 ships built in total, the unarmed civilian variant Project 97A was the most numerous with twelve icebreakers built in 1961–1971.<ref name="kuznetsov" />
Project 97A icebreakers were {{convert|67.7|m|ft|0}} [[length overall|long overall]] and had a beam of {{convert|18|m|ft|0}}. Fully laden, the vessels drew {{convert|5.35|m|ft|1}} of water and had a displacement of {{convert|2935|t|LT}}. Their three {{convert|1800|hp|kW|adj=on}} [[straight-10 engine|10-cylinder]] 13D100 [[two-stroke engine|two-stroke]] [[opposed-piston engine|opposed-piston]] [[diesel engine]]s were coupled to generators that powered electric propulsion motors driving two propellers in the stern and a third one in the bow. Project 97A icebreakers were capable of breaking {{convert|70|to|75|cm|in}} thick snow-covered ice at very slow but continuous speed.<ref name="kuznetsov" />
== History ==
The fifth of twelve Project 97A icebreakers was [[keel laying|laid down]] at [[Admiralty Shipyard]] in [[Leningrad]] on 5 April 1963, [[Ceremonial ship launching|launched]] on 24 August 1963, and delivered to the [[Far East Shipping Company]] on 7 December 1963. Initially named simply '''''Ledokol-5''''' ({{lang-rus|Ледокол-5}}), [[Russian language|Russian]] for "icebreaker", it was renamed ''Yerofey Khabarov'' in 1966 after the [[Yerofey Khabarov|17th century Russian entrepreneur and adventurer]]. The icebreaker was stationed in [[Magadan]] in the [[Russian Far East]].<ref name="kuznetsov" />
Following the [[dissolution of the Soviet Union]], ''Khariton Laptev'' passed over to the successor state, [[Russia]].<ref name="seaweb" />
''Yerofey Khabarov'' was taken out of service in 1993 and sold to India for [[shipbreaking|scrapping]].<ref name="seaweb">{{csr|register=SEAWEB|id=6500789|shipname=Yerofey Khabarov|accessdate=14 May 2023}}</ref>
