I had to do my due diligence because I initially got the Admiral Kuznetsov confused with the Moskva (of "Russian Warship, Go Fuck Yourself" infamy). which, in my initial searchings, Ukraine claimed they fucked and the russia claimed fucked itself, and honestly the russia claiming "nah, nah our boat totally fucked itself after y'all told it to fuck itself. Our boats just do that sometimes" (which is a glib oversimplification of war)
no i'm not gonna look up the admiral kuznetsov that'd be too easy i'm gonna look up what i THINK the admiral kuznetsov is. then when i'm done and frustrated i'll look up what the admiral kuznetsov is if i haven't remembered. that's harder and more fun.
It’s so much worse than the Moskva, I assure you
it's the one that caught fire by itself in dry dock, right?
Yup. It had a fleet of escort tugs too because it never worked
i want to say i remember it getting towed out to sea, then it sank, then it caught fire again (while undersea), but i might just be piling on a little
i also might be thinking of the river thames
