We don’t get to make fun of the Admiral Kuznetsov ever again

    This one's got a long way to go to being Kuznetsov'd, for one you need to weld off unused areas, then make the engine room look like something from Saw, replace the catapult with a cope slope. Oh, and have it spew clouds of black smoke whenever it's not moved by tugs (which is like 10%), maybe keep it in port for "modernization" for a few years too

    have it spew clouds of black smoke

    Really its a wonder Trump hasn't mandated conventionally powered carriers, only his insane ideas with steam catapults.

    Part of me wants to see more ships powered by marine gas* turbines, but with aircraft carriers that's really improbable :/

    the Admiral Kuznetsov

    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
