Andrei Augostovich Eberhardt (1856-1919) was Russia's Chief of the Russian Naval General Staff from 1908 and Commander-in-Chief of the Black Sea Fleet from 1911. During the World War I his top achievement was setting up a naval blockade of Zonguldak coal fields choking coal supply of the German-Turkish fleet. However he was cautious to start further offensive actions against Turkish positions in Bosporus and was replaced by Aleksandr Kolchak in 1916.
