; The ship is currently on fire at dock, after a fire sparked during work on the propulsion system. Russia has only one aircraft carrier, the Cold War-era Admiral Kuznetsov. Regardless, to say that the Admiral Kuznetsov is an unlucky ship would be an understatement. The Admiral Kuznetsov has been plagued by breakdowns and setbacks since its launch in 1985.
The massive blaze follows a 70-ton crane crashing on to the Admiral Kuznetsov's deck in October 2018 when a mammoth floating dock holding the ship sank. The results of the preliminary inspection found that no significant damage was sustained by Admiral Kuznetsov," Krivoruchko said during a conference call. Last night, Russia’s sole aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, suffered serious damage when the floating dry dock in which it was being repaired sank.
Russian officials insist the damage is "not critical" but the 70-tonne crane caused a gash on the Kuznetsov's deck of up to 5m (16ft).
The Admiral Kuznetsov has seen action in Russia's military campaign in Syria in support of President Bashar al-Assad, with its planes carrying out air strikes on rebel forces.
