☝️ NUCLEAR ICE BREAKERS ??
‼️Crinoline and Nuclear Icebreakers
A crinoline is not just a stiff frame worn under a skirt. The word takes on a completely different meaning when we talk about it in the context of the nuclear icebreaker fleet.
A crinoline also means a structure with an aft cut-out behind the transom (a flat cut of the ship's stern). It is necessary for close towing in icy conditions.
The following video shows the docking of the Yamal nuclear icebreaker and the 50 Let Pobedy (50 Years of Victory) nuclear-powered icebreaker. Thanks to it, the stern cutout with fenders (for protection) can be seen in detail. ??❤️
