== More naval news I thought you would be interested in ==
I know you served in the U.S. Navy.
I came across some additional naval news that I thought you would be interested in: [https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2024/11/russia-vast-naval-modernization-set-back-by-war-in-ukraine/ Russia’s Vast Naval Modernization Set Back By War In Ukraine].
"The outlook is a return to the underinvestment and decay of the 1990s.
Efforts to get major warships back to sea, such as the carrier Admiral Kutzenov or battle cruiser Admiral Nakhimov, increasingly seem like a Pyrrhic victories. The sunk cost of these modernizations appear now to be a question of national pride more than increasing naval capabilities. There are reports in Russian State media that the Nakhimov will sail for the first time in around 25 years this month. But there is a significant caveat; it will sail without its nuclear reactors running. While there may be some practical value to these plans, they appear more for show. The Soviet practice of symbolic milestones just before year end is alive and well.
The Russian Navy’s modernization plans are now significantly curtailed. Russia may be hoping that the incoming government in Washington will push a favourable solution in Ukraine, but the damage to their their naval plans already appears too deep."
