Look upon my words
and despair

Reports that naval drones attacked ships just down the coast in Russia. All drones were intercepted, and one large ship is doing that trick where they tilt sideways to help with cleaning the deck. That's all. It's going to be a very clean deck, just might need some seawater to help rinse it.

BTW is that the Ropucha that managed to escape the Tochka strike on a port early on in the war when another ship got obliterated?

Unfortunately it seems like it's already pretty close to port/shore but maybe it'll get promoted to sub anyway....

Being docked hasn't stopped Kuznetsov from being permanently on the verge of capsizing / burning down.

I don't think so, those were Caesar Kunikov and Novocherkassk, while the struck vessel has been initially identified as Olenegorskiy Gornyak.

A rare exception since it was in drydock and not supposed to be on fire. But American Damage Control has been key and was a significant factor in survival of American combat ships during World War 2

Cool now do the USS Cole

Edit: or the Stark, where purposely flooding one side of the ship actually helped to keep the hole in the hole above the water line on the other side of the ship.

There are going to be other examples of ships lost, but I'm confident that the US Navy's damage control training and material is far above and beyond Russia's.

In combat, you kind assume fires are gonna happen.

In drydock undergoing a refit, less so :)

I served with a guy on my first boat that would loudly proclaim "God doesn't have the balls to sink this pig" every time we dove.

And he was right apparently.

It seems like they have no idea the drone is there, usually they try to hit it with deck guns when they get close

Looks like they had lights on too, but it's important to note if they only noticed it when it got close, the deck guns won't depress enough to hit it.

So what's the deal with Russia's newest soon-to-be submarine? Is it one of their more important ships, or just "a" naval ship?

Its a significant ship if they plan to do any amphibious assaults.
