Shirase 5003 postmark

Shirase (しらせ) is a Japanese icebreaker operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and Japan's fourth icebreaker for Antarctic expeditions. She inherited her name from her predecessor. She was launched in April 2008 and commissioned in May 2009 with the hull number AGB-5003.
Due to a JMSDF internal naming rule, an icebreaker must take its name from a place. Accordingly, Shirase is said to take its name from Shirase Glacier. This glacier bears the family name of Lieutenant Nobu Shirase, a Japanese pioneer of Antarctic exploration.
