That's a lot of loose lips.

Newbie Investigating Officer: “Do boats like this sink very often?”
 

Crusty ole' Skipper: “No, usually it’s only once.”

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

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

Not much of a ‘dry’ dock anymore

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. .

I'm guessing the unofficial 10% truth story involves a case of vodka, a pot of honey, a bear, and the Russian equivalent of "hold my beer and watch this".........
