October 31, 20187 yr Newbie Investigating Officer: “Do boats like this sink very often?” Crusty ole' Skipper: “No, usually it’s only once.”
October 31, 20187 yr The Kuznetsov I guess we still think them a threat even when it was in the Med it had to be accompanied by a sea going tug. It's class A mishap rate was high doing ops over Syria
October 31, 20187 yr I like to think that there's a Russian BODN out there where some salty comrade's cracking jokes right now about getting their dock wet courtesy of ЪѻƵip's mom
October 31, 20187 yr This seems to be typical stuff that happens in the world of dry-docks. Heck, in the last few months/years we had the same thing happen a few times, including; dry-docks sinking, cutting big holes in the hull/flooding/damaging new U.S. Navy ships, etc. It normally takes the U.S. about 3 months to refloat a sunk/damaged dry-dock, I wouldn't be surprised if it takes the Russians longer to refloat their junk. .
