Four injured, at least one critically, and one missing. A crane apparently fell, causing so e damage to the ship, but there are no details.

It's a safe bet to say that many, many heads are going to roll because of this. Human error, or sabotage, I wonder?.

The same thing happened to HMS Valiant in 1944, and occured due to human error.
 
Because smoke inside of it , this time .

Admiral Kuznetsov's woes continue. It's now facing an engine-room fire with one reported dead.
Having seen pictures of her while on fire, I can say that she makes less smoke that way then when she's actually sailing....

Talk about a jinxed ship ! Reminds of Homer Simpson complaining that everything he touches catches fire LMAO.

Thinking about the thread title, that floating... submarine dockyard could be very useful to Moskva cruiser.

The burning and smoking legend - Admiral Flota Soveckogo Sojuza Kuznecov AKA The Murmansk Ronson Lighter.
 
So, she is going to mysteriously sink and the west will be blamed. Hence proving to the world that we are out to get Russia. What next for the Russian ball and chain that is the Kuznetsov?
