4 mouth old news but I searched on both NCD on reddit and here and found nothing about it… The aging, damaged ‘Kuznetsov’ is unlikely to deploy ever again.

it’s the end of a very funny era :'(

      You’d get lockjaw immediately apon touching that wall. Is that part of the ships defense? Immediate Tetanus?

        It’s very simple, Ivan. When there’s a fault, we just seal off the whole area, and the problem is solved forever.

          Not even a joke, apparently they have two whole decks where “nobody goes”…

      I wonder, if it’s put on sale, Ukraine or supporter should buy it.

      Problem: it gives Russia money.

      But buying it to turn it into smoke grenades (the best smoke grenades to ever exist) would be really funny XD

        The really shitty part is that Ukraine (as the Ukrainian SSR) built the damn thing, and the Russian CO actually just weighed anchor and fucked off to a Russian port when the USSR collapsed despite orders from the Ukrainian government to not do that.

          I’m pretty sure that was debunked for being obscenely obscenely expensive and fairly obvious.

            You’re telling me stealing a Russian aircraft carrier, putting it in orbit, and then dropping it on the Kremlin is… unfeasible?!

              Ooh I get what you mean now, it’s just phrased kinda odd.

    It’s been unlikely to ever deploy again since the floating drydock it was in caught fire and almost sank the damn boat

    Most of the English impressment was drafting able seamen from other vessels, usually merchants.

    The intrinsic counter-loyalty fueled the Golden Age of Piracy.
