In the mid-1950s, the Soviet Union began developing a new diesel-electric icebreaker design based on the 1942-built steam-powered icebreaker Eisbär to meet the needs of both civilian and naval operators. Built in various configurations until the early 1980s, the Project 97 icebreakers and their derivatives became the largest and longest-running class of icebreakers and icebreaking vessels built in the world. Two of the 32 ships built were armed patrol icebreakers with increased autonomy time and operating range that enabled them to patrol the western and eastern ends of the Northern Sea Route.[1]
Project 97AP patrol icebreakers were 67.7 metres (222 ft) long overall and had a beam of 18.1 metres (59 ft). Fully laden, the vessels drew 6.3 metres (20.7 ft) of water and had a displacement of 3,350 tonnes (3,300 long tons). Their three 1,800-horsepower (1,300 kW) 10-cylinder 13D100 two-strokeopposed-pistondiesel engines were coupled to generators that powered electric propulsion motors driving two propellers in the stern and a third one in the bow.[1]
Project 97AP icebreakers were initially armed with one twin 57MM AK-257 and one twin 25mm 2M-3M naval guns, but later disarmed.[1]
