<p>Dear Platform Group,<br />The vessel Fedor Litke from USSR with code 90DO has been added to align with NOAA.<br />please note: this is not an icebreaker as suggested before.<br /><br />Code : 90DO<br />Name : FEDOR LITKE<br />Flag : USSR - SUHH (ISO Country Code)<br />Platform Class : Research vessel<br />Commissioned Date : 1964<br />Decommissioned Date : 1996<br />Current Length : 89.7<br />Built : 1964<br />Notes : Data at WODC from 1966-1979. Research vessel that belonged to the USSR Pacific Ocean Fleet. Possible other spelling: Fyodor Litke<br />Information Source : http://russian-ships.info/vspomog/850.htm (URL)<br /><br /><b>General Comments:</b><br />Data at WODC for 9284 is for years 1966-1979 for Pacific region. Therefore, it is highly doubtful that the vessel is the live icebreaker built in 1970 with call sign UCDJ. Icebreaker(icecutter) "F.Litke" from 1909 was decomissioned in 1958, so it can't be the one either (http://vaga-land.livejournal.com/176855.html).<br />(added by: Anna Osypchuk - 14/07/2010 00:00:00)<br /><br />Russian DB: three ships with this name, one icebraker (01/01/1909-01/01/1990) and two research vessels, one of them was built 01/01/1964. Russian database info: Built in 1964-01-01 - other info is also exactly the same as for "Aleksey Chirikov"<br />(added by: Francis Mitchell - 25/10/2007 00:00:00)<br /><br /><br /><br />Kind regards,<br />The ICES Data Centre<br /><br />International Council for the Exploration of the Sea <br />Email: accessions@ices.dk<br />Web: http://www.ices.dk<br /><br />Tel: +45 3338 6718 Fax: +45 3393 4215<br />H.C.
