CCGS John Cabot[1] (id: 320951;[2]IMO number: 6514974; MMSI number: 247253000)[3] was a Canadian Coast Guard heavy icebreaker and cable ship[2] in service starting 1965. It passed out of CCG service and entered private service in 1994, as the cable ship CS John Cabot.[1] In 1997, it was again renamed, becoming CS Certamen.[1][4] The ship was scrapped in 2014,[5] under the name Certa.[6] It was the world's first icebreaking cable repair ship built.[7][8] In 1985, it recovered the black boxes from Air India Flight 182.[7] As of 2023[update],[9] the John Cabot participated in the deepest submarine rescue ever performed, in 1973, retrieving Pisces III from the seafloor at 480 m (1,570 ft) and rescuing the crew of Roger Mallinson and Roger Chapman.[1][10][9]
