No issue, Putin got powerful Chinese backing and Xi can build ANY Carrier for Putin better larger and more advanced than Dotard's.

Xi can also salvage any thing sunken, like they had been helping Kim-Chi with their ferry Sewol

人民网北京10月29日电 (邱越 赵苑旨)据环球时报消息,港媒称中国首艘国产航母28日上午从大连造船厂出发,出海进行第三次海试。军事专家曹卫东在接受人民网采访时表示,此次海试是一个更全面的检测,但仅三次海试尚不能完成所有的海试项目,如果整个海试工作能在一年左右的时间内完成,就说明首艘国产航母的海试工作进展顺利。
报道称,28日早上9时许,数艘拖船开始向国产航母附近集结;约10时,大连造船厂响起鞭炮和礼炮,庆祝国产航母开启第三次海试,随后拖船开始拖曳,航母驶向海试区域。网络流传的照片显示,中国海军89号综合保障船也首次随航母共同出海。
首艘国产航母完全由我国自主设计制造,2013年11月开工,2015年3月开始坞内建造,并于2017年4月26日下水。2018年5月13日至18日,首艘国产航母完成了首次试航任务返港,8月26日,国产航母开赴相关海域开展第二次海试。报道指出,按照通行做法,航母试航可分为服役前试航和服役后编队试航。服役前试航一般是测试航海性能,例如船体动力、指挥系统、水密舱密封性、雷达导航、通信系统等性能。海试的清单内容非常长,按照一般规律,首次海试的核心是动力系统,第二次海试测试内容依旧集中测试包括动力系统、导航系统、通信系统在内的航行功能。
据曹卫东介绍,相较前两次海试,第三次海试将是一次针对更多系统、更全面的一次检测。航母海试是一个由简到繁、由单个系统到全系统的检验,所以参加海试的人员和需要检测的设备会越来越多,因此此次海试海军的综合保障船随航母共同出海,“它既是一个保障人员的大旅馆,也是一个备用设备的大仓库。”
台湾中时电子报称,从现场照片看,国产航母拦阻索以及舷侧的鞭状天线均已安装到位,飞行甲板上也出现了各类舰载机的模型。报道认为,这些模型的出现,是为了与航母进行适配性试验。
曹卫东说,所谓适配性试验主要是指舰载机能否在甲板上正常调度、是否与机库匹配、升降机是否能搭载舰载机正常升降等。战机的适配性训练非常复杂,从基本舰载机调度到难度较大的舰载机起降都包括在内,只有一步步完成了前面基本的检验,才能让舰载机上舰检测,最后才能进行起降训练。
曹卫东表示,这是我国第一艘完全国产化的航母,是一个非常庞大的体系,其中每一项工作都是一次全新的探索,如果能用一年左右的时间完成整个海试工作,就算比较快了。“三次海试尚不能完成国产航母的所有检测项目,只有所有项目都检测完成通过后,才能说航母交付在即了。”

The domestic aircraft carrier conducts the third sea test. Expert: Or carry out the shipboard shipboard dispatching inspection

October 30, 2018 00:00 Source: People's Network

People's Daily Online, Beijing, October 29 (Qiu Yue, Zhao Yuan) According to the Global Times, Hong Kong media said that China's first domestic aircraft carrier departed from Dalian Shipyard on the morning of the 28th and went to sea for the third sea trial. In an interview with People's Daily, military expert Cao Weidong said that the sea trial is a more comprehensive test, but only three sea trials can not complete all sea trials, if the entire sea trial can be completed in a year or so. This shows that the sea trial work of the first domestic aircraft carrier is progressing smoothly.

According to reports, at 9 o'clock on the morning of the 28th, several tugs began to gather near the domestic aircraft carrier. At about 10 o'clock, the Dalian shipyard fired firecrackers and salutes to celebrate the third sea trial of the domestic aircraft carrier. Then the tugboat began towing and the aircraft carrier sailed. Sea trial area. Photographs circulating on the Internet show that the China Navy’s No. 89 comprehensive support ship also went out with the aircraft carrier for the first time.

The first domestic aircraft carrier was completely designed and manufactured by China. It started construction in November 2013 and began construction in the dock in March 2015. It was launched on April 26, 2017. From May 13 to 18, 2018, the first domestic aircraft carrier completed its first trial mission and returned to Hong Kong. On August 26, the domestic aircraft carrier went to the relevant sea area to carry out the second sea trial. According to the report, according to the common practice, the carrier test can be divided into trials before service and after trials in service. Tests before service are generally tested for maritime performance, such as hull power, command system, watertight tank sealing, radar navigation, communication systems and other performance. The list of sea trials is very long. According to the general law, the core of the first sea trial is the power system. The second sea trial test still focuses on testing the navigation functions including power system, navigation system and communication system.

According to Cao Weidong, compared with the previous two sea trials, the third sea trial will be a more comprehensive and more comprehensive test. The aircraft carrier sea test is a test from simple to complex, from a single system to the whole system. Therefore, the number of people participating in the sea test and the equipment to be tested will be more and more. Therefore, the comprehensive support ship of the sea trial navy will go out with the aircraft carrier. "It is both a big hotel for security personnel and a large warehouse for spare equipment."

According to the Taiwanese electronic newsletter, from the photo of the scene, the domestic aircraft carrier blocker cable and the side whip antenna have been installed in place, and various models of carrier aircraft have appeared on the flight deck. The report believes that these models appear to be suitable for testing with aircraft carriers.

Cao Weidong said that the so-called adaptability test mainly refers to whether the carrier aircraft can be normally dispatched on the deck, whether it matches the hangar, and whether the lift can carry the normal lifting of the carrier aircraft. The adaptability training of the fighter aircraft is very complicated. From the basic carrier aircraft dispatching to the more difficult carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing, only the step-by-step basic test is completed step by step, so that the carrier aircraft can be detected on the ship, and finally Take off and take off training.

Cao Weidong said that this is China's first fully domesticized aircraft carrier. It is a very large system. Each of these work is a new exploration. If it can be completed in a year or so, even if it is compared, Soon. "Three sea trials have not been able to complete all the testing projects of domestic aircraft carriers. Only after all the tests have been completed can the aircraft carrier be delivered."

10月29日,有网友曝光照片显示中国海军的辽宁号航母已经结束了在干船坞中升级改造,目前正停泊在船厂的码头上进行后续的工作。在过去一百多天的时间里,辽宁舰在大连造船厂干船坞中针对舰岛、飞行甲板等方面进行了大幅度的升级优化,整体作战能力得到了一定的提升。

有分析认为,辽宁号航母的这次升级将让其舰岛更加接近首艘国产航母的舰岛设计,这被认为一方面是为了优化飞行甲板的设计布局、帮助辽宁舰搭载更多的舰载机,一方面是为了提高辽宁舰舰载机部队的作战效率。而在辽宁舰舰岛上涂刷弦号的行为,被认为是在为更多的航母服役后组建双(多)航母编队进行准备,这一涂装能够帮助舰载机飞行员在空中更好的识别航母的身份。

The Global Times recently quoted French media reports that the Liaoning aircraft carrier and China's first domestic aircraft carrier are currently docked in the dock for maintenance and renovation. The original coating on the aircraft carrier deck has been polished away, and many parts have traces of steel plate splicing. Earlier, it was reported that the Liaoning aircraft carrier adopted a new painting, and the word "16" appeared above the ship island. This is considered to be related to the technical details for the formation of a dual aircraft carrier formation in the future. (Source: Love story in the era of hot weapons)

On October 29th, some netizens exposed photos showing that the Chinese Navy’s Liaoning aircraft carrier has been upgraded in the dry dock and is currently parked at the dock of the shipyard for follow-up work. In the past 100 days, the Liaoning ship has been greatly upgraded and optimized for the ship island and flight deck in the dry dock of the Dalian Shipyard, and the overall combat capability has been improved.

It can be seen from the figure that the scaffolding on the upper layer of the aircraft carrier island of Liaoning has been completely dismantled, and large-scale construction activities are still underway on the lower deck and flight deck of the island. It can be clearly seen from the figure that the current island of the Liaoning aircraft carrier has been greatly reduced in size compared with the previous one. The air traffic control tower that was originally located behind the island has been dismantled and painted above the position of the air traffic control tower. The string number of the Liaoning ship.

Some analysts believe that the upgrade of the Liaoning aircraft carrier will make its ship island closer to the design of the first domestic aircraft carrier. This is considered to optimize the design of the flight deck and help the Liaoning ship carry more ships. On the one hand, it is to improve the operational efficiency of the carrier of the Liaoning ship. The act of painting the string on the Liaoning Ship Island is considered to be preparing for the formation of a double (multi) aircraft carrier formation after serving more aircraft carriers. This painting can help the carrier aircraft pilots better in the air. Identify the identity of the aircraft carrier.

The Chinese media revealed the accident.

It is nothing very serious, the crane from the old USSR floating dock collapsed on top of the carrier deck GPGT!

Chinese already supplied new Yellow Colored floating dock to Putin, but it is now in use in other project. This old Soviet dock is from a different shipyard. Entire new yard and giant Chinese gentry cranes are in the Red Star Yard near Vladivostok (near Japan). The huge old Soviet Dock which had accident is located near Finland.

根据俄罗斯媒体最新发布的信息显示,2018年10月30日,其唯一的航母库兹涅佐夫号在大修的过程中发生了极为严重的事故。当时,库兹涅佐夫号航母正在摩尔曼斯克州萨福诺沃第82修船厂的PD-50浮船坞中,而浮船坞突然沉没。(图片来源:云上的空母)


[文/观察者网 于宝辰]修航母的浮动船坞沉了,刚修好的航母被吊车砸了。一夜之间,俄罗斯海军的骄傲“库兹涅佐夫海军上将”号航母变成了大茶几,上面摆满了杯具。然而据社交媒体上流传的图片看来,“库兹涅佐夫”号上除了杯具,还摆着……砸她的那座吊车。
随着天色渐明,10月30日凌晨发生的萨福诺沃第82修船厂(SRZ-82)PD-50浮动船坞沉没事件现出了它的“真相”。被拖往谢夫马尔布奇海军第35修船厂继续进行维修的“库兹涅佐夫”号的最新照片在社交媒体上开始传播:倒掉的吊车依然躺在“库兹涅佐夫”号的甲板上,这艘航母就这样带着它开到了新的修船厂。

According to the latest information released by the Russian media, on October 30, 2018, its only carrier, Kuznetsov, had an extremely serious accident during the overhaul. At the time, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was in the PD-50 floating dock at the 82nd shipyard in Safonovo, Murmansk, and the floating dock suddenly sank. (Source: Empty mother on the cloud)

[Text / Observer Network Yu Baochen] The floating dock of the aircraft carrier was sunk, and the newly repaired aircraft carrier was smashed by a crane. Overnight, the pride of the Russian Navy "Air Admiral Kuznetsov" became a large coffee table filled with cups. However, according to the pictures circulating on social media, in addition to the cups on the Kuznetsov, there is also a crane that smashes her.

As the weather became clearer, the sinking of the PD-50 floating dock at the Safonovo 82 Shipyard (SRZ-82) on the morning of October 30 showed its "truth." The latest photo of the Kuznetsov, which was towed to the 39th shipyard of the Naval Marbich Naval Shipyard, began to spread on social media: the fallen crane still lies in the Kuznetsov On the deck, the aircraft carrier took it to the new shipyard.
Photographs circulating on social media, pictures of "Cuznetsov" lying on the deck of the fallen crane social media, "Cuznetsov" lying on the deck of the fallen crane

According to the observer network, it was reported that the PD-50 floating dock suddenly sank when the "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier was repaired and ready to be docked in the early morning of the 30th. The accident caused one of the two cranes of the floating dock to fall down on the aircraft carrier. Obviously, the huge engineering object could not remove the monster, and it can only be opened to the new shipyard for further treatment.
"Kuznetsov" was previously repaired in the floating dock, the red circle is the photo of the fallen crane "Kuznetsov" previously repaired in the floating dock, the red circle is this time Fallen crane

"Kuznetsov" just completed the most thorough maintenance since she served in the PD-50 floating dock. Even the boilers have been replaced with new ones. The fallen crane may ruin the blocking cables on the rear deck, and the Kuznetsov will be repaired again. How much is "Kuznetsov" hurt? And can Russia's existing ship repairing capacity complete the repair of her? When will Russia regain its only aircraft carrier? ... All this remains to be seen.

However, there was no good news overnight. According to the Tass news agency, a worker who had been missing in the past has been rescued. He is now being sent to the hospital for treatment like the other three people who have fallen into the water, but because it is cold. The soaking time in the sea was too long, and he had severe hypothermia.

消息人士称,事故发生后,“库兹涅佐夫”号航母被拖到摩尔曼斯克罗斯塔区的另一个修船厂,即第35船舶修理厂,预计需要一个多小时。
“库兹涅佐夫”号航母于今年9月份到达第82船舶修理厂接受维修。其所在的PD-50浮船坞是世界上最大的浮船坞之一,于1980年按苏联海军的命令在瑞典建造。它的长度为330米,宽度为67米,承载能力为8万吨,专为修复大型水面舰艇和潜艇而设计,包括“库兹涅佐夫”号航母和“彼得大帝”号重型核动力巡洋舰。

六代绮罗成旧梦:辽宁舰“娘家”黑海造船厂为何轰然倒塌1/25

乌克兰国家新闻网站7月4日发布消息称,辽宁号航空母舰的娘家——黑海造船厂被宣布破产。据报道,尼古拉耶夫州经济法庭在7月3日宣告黑海造船厂破产。实际上这所建造了苏联所有航空母舰的,拥有光荣传统的造船厂在很早之前就遇到了严重的资金危机。乌克兰当地法院实际上在一年以前就已经将该船厂查封,此番宣布其破产只是向这只要死的骆驼背上丢下了最后一棵稻草。黑海造船厂的结局令人痛惜,但我们更应该看到船厂破产背后乌克兰留给我们的惨痛教训。本期《出鞘》我们就来谈谈黑海造船厂的境遇对我们的启示。(查看完整内容搜索微信公众号:sinamilnews)

俄最大浮船坞航母还没修完,倒是把自己给修沉了
另外他还提到,造成此次事故的原因已经基本查明,即在事发之前,当地电网就已经出了故障并导致部分地区停电。而后出现的电网浪涌,直接让位于第82修理厂内的PD-50浮船坞的水泵停止工作,最终导致了此次浮船坞沉没事故的发生。虽然库兹涅佐夫号航母本身并未因事故受损,但毫无疑问,PD-50浮船坞的沉没必然将会对库舰的维修工作造成一系列的不利影响。由瑞典建造且已经使用了38年的PD-50浮船坞,依旧是俄罗斯西部地区唯一可以为航空母舰提供大修的船坞设施。

正在PD-50浮船坞中进行大规模维护升级的库舰
此次库兹涅佐夫号航母的维修工作,在该舰于2017年完成在叙利亚地区的部署返回北方舰队之后就已经开始。2018年4月,俄罗斯国防部与俄罗斯联合造船集团(USC)签订了一份价值约为600亿卢布的航母大修和现代化升级合同,根据合同内容显示,此次大修除了将对库舰原装的主动力系统等进行全面更换外,也将对该舰的船电和武器系统进行大规模的升级。根据官方预计,整个工程将在2020年底完成,再经过七个月的测试后,库舰将于2021年重返俄罗斯海军服役并服役到2030年以后。

此次维护升级中被拆下的库兹涅佐夫号航母的原装锅炉
实际上,库兹涅佐夫号航母之所以选择在PD-50浮船坞中进行大修,其实也是无可奈何的选择。毕竟如果在苏联时期,库舰完全可以返回她的出生地——尼古拉耶夫黑海造船厂进行中修或大修改装。然而,黑海造船厂在苏联解体后就归乌克兰所有,该造船厂最后更是以破产倒闭的惨淡结局收场。虽然早在2016年,俄罗斯方面表示将对本文开头提及的第35修船厂进行扩建,使其具备为航母提供中/大修的能力。但到目前为止,俄各大造船厂的干船坞,均不具备为库舰这种级别的船只进行大规模升级的硬件条件。

苏联解体后俄罗斯失去了能够为航母提供大修的黑海造船厂
位于远东地区的另一个与PD-50同规格的浮船坞,已然成为了目前俄罗斯境内唯一具备为库兹涅佐夫号航母大规模升级提供保障的硬件设施。不过,先不提仍未完成升级工程的库舰有无能力跨越上万海里的距离,驶抵远东地区的这个浮船坞。即使是真的克服了千难万阻到了远东的地界,也会大大拖延库兹涅佐夫号的改装工作。从中国引进新型浮船坞是一个很好的选择,红星造船厂就已经购买了中国建造的浮船坞,如今俄罗斯面对西方世界的封锁,要想从西方国家手中购买大型浮船坞无疑是痴人说梦。
kXM8-hnfikvc4056605.jpg

库兹涅佐夫的维修场地看上去很杂乱
购买全新的浮船坞也是远水解不了近渴,毕竟从谈判、签订合同再到建造交付起码需要数年时间,库兹涅佐夫号怕是等不起了。相比之下,我国大连造船厂更适合为这艘航母提供更加全面的维护和升级工作。毕竟作为赋予了库兹涅佐夫号航母姊妹舰——瓦良格号新生的地方,大连造船厂完全有能力有条件承担起这一系列工作。
Uo81-hnfikvc4056660.jpg


我国大连造船厂成了全球最有资格为俄系航母提供大修的地方
当然,这种看似颇具浪漫主义色彩的事情,实际上是很难在现实中上演的。不过,这也在很大程度上,体现了俄罗斯海军水面舰艇部队以及本土船舶工业在苏联解体后的落魄程度。相比中国这个曾经的学生,如今却在各个方面都已经成为了超越老师的存在。在这种强烈的对比之下,实在是不由得让人发出“萧瑟秋风今又是,换了人间”般的感慨。(作者署名:啮花熊)

According to the latest information released by the Russian media, on October 30, 2018, its only carrier, Kuznetsov, had an extremely serious accident during the overhaul. At the time, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was in the PD-50 floating dock at the 82nd shipyard in Safonovo, Murmansk, and the floating dock suddenly sank. (Source: Empty mother on the cloud)


According to a report by the Russian news agency on October 3, a spokesperson for the 82nd ship repair shop in Murmansk, Russia, told the Russian news agency that one of the world’s largest floating docks, Russia’s 82nd ship repair shop PD-50 floating dock, is The Russian Navy’s only aircraft carrier, Kuznetsov, is currently receiving a floating dock at the overhaul. An emergency occurred in the early hours of the local time, and the floating dock sank, but no deaths were caused.

A spokesperson for the shipyard said that the workers at the 82nd ship repair shop in the village of Roslyakovo were suddenly interrupted during the docking operation, the reservoir of the PD-50 floating dock was filled, and the floating dock was sunk to the ground, but No one died. The spokesperson added that the "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier that was undergoing overhaul at the floating dock was not damaged and was being towed to the berth to continue the planned restoration work.

Murmansk local media severpost reported that at about midnight, the 82nd ship repair shop had an emergency, the PD-50 floating dock sank for some unknown reason, there were workers on it, three workers were injured, one The workers were missing and about 70 people were evacuated from the ship repair shop. It is understood that two tower cranes collapsed, one fell into the sea and one fell on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Witnesses said that many police and emergency personnel were on the scene to implement the rescue.

According to the Russian Tass news agency, sources in the emergency department revealed that the PD-50 floating dock was completely sunk in Murmansk. According to preliminary information, the crane fell and a total of four workers were injured. The injured have been taken to the hospital. Rojalev, head of the Murmansk Medical Accident Center, said that the wounded were too cold, and one of them was hospitalized for abdominal trauma. Three victims were sent to the “Sevryba” medical unit and one was taken to the Murmansk City Hospital. One of them was seriously injured and the other three were seriously injured.

According to the source, after the accident, the "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier was towed to another ship repairing plant in the Murmanskrosta district, the 35th ship repair shop, which is expected to take more than an hour.

The aircraft carrier "Kuznetsov" arrived in the 82nd ship repair shop for repairs in September this year. The PD-50 floating dock, one of the largest floating docks in the world, was built in Sweden in 1980 in accordance with the orders of the Soviet Navy. It has a length of 330 meters, a width of 67 meters and a carrying capacity of 80,000 tons. It is designed for the repair of large surface ships and submarines, including the "Kuznetsov" aircraft carrier and the "Peter the Great" heavy nuclear power cruiser. .

According to the Tass news agency reported on October 30, at the early morning of the 30th local time, the PD-50 floating dock belonging to the 82nd repair shop in the important northern city of Murmansk in Russia was sunk by accident. The accident has caused four staff members to be injured. One of them was seriously injured. It is worth noting that the PD-50 floating dock was carrying out maintenance work for the only carrier of the Russian Navy, Kuznetsov, at the time of the accident. "Little Star" ship repair center representative Yevgeny. Gladshev told Tass that according to preliminary data, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was not damaged by this accident, and the ship will be transferred to the 35th ship repairing plant, when there will be more accurate information.

The Sixth Generation of Jurassic Dreams: Why did the Liaoning Ship "Nianjia" Black Sea Shipyard collapsed 1/25?
View the original map mode

The Ukrainian national news website announced on July 4 that the maiden of the Liaoning aircraft carrier, the Black Sea Shipyard, was declared bankrupt. According to reports, the Nikolaev State Economic Court announced on July 3 that the Black Sea Shipyard was bankrupt. In fact, the shipyards that built all the Soviet aircraft carriers with a glorious tradition encountered a serious financial crisis long ago. The Ukrainian local court actually sealed the shipyard a year ago, and this time it was declared bankrupt just to drop the last straw on the back of the dead camel. The ending of the Black Sea Shipyard is deplorable, but we should also see the painful lessons left by Ukraine behind the bankruptcy of the shipyard. In this issue of "Sheathing", let's talk about the enlightenment of the situation of the Black Sea Shipyard. (View full content search WeChat public number: sinamilnews)






Russia’s largest floating dock carrier has not been repaired yet, but it has sank itself.

In addition, he also mentioned that the cause of the accident has been basically ascertained, that is, before the incident, the local power grid has already failed and caused power outages in some areas. Then the grid surge occurred, which directly stopped the pump of the PD-50 floating dock in the 82nd repair shop, which eventually led to the sinking of the floating dock. Although the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier itself has not been damaged by accidents, there is no doubt that the sinking of the PD-50 floating dock will inevitably have a series of adverse effects on the maintenance work of the reservoir. The PD-50 floating dock, built in Sweden and used for 38 years, is still the only dock facility in western Russia that can provide overhaul for aircraft carriers.

A ship that is undergoing large-scale maintenance upgrades in the PD-50 floating dock

The maintenance work of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier began after the ship completed its deployment in the Syrian region in 2017 and returned to the Northern Fleet. In April 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defense and the Russian United Shipbuilding Group (USC) signed a contract for the overhaul and modernization of an aircraft carrier worth about 60 billion rubles. According to the contract, the overhaul will be the original owner of the reservoir. In addition to the complete replacement of the power system, the ship's ship's power and weapon systems will also be upgraded on a large scale. According to official estimates, the entire project will be completed by the end of 2020. After seven months of testing, the ship will return to the Russian Navy in 2021 and serve until 2030.

The original boiler of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier that was removed during the maintenance upgrade

In fact, the reason why the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier chose to overhaul in the PD-50 floating dock is actually a helpless choice. After all, if during the Soviet period, the treasury could return to her birthplace, the Nikolaev Black Sea Shipyard, for repairs or major modifications. However, the Black Sea Shipyard was owned by Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the shipyard ended in a bleak ending with bankruptcy. Although as early as 2016, the Russian side indicated that it will expand the 35th ship repair yard mentioned at the beginning of this article to provide the medium/overhaul capability for the aircraft carrier. But so far, the dry docks of Russia's major shipyards do not have the hardware conditions for large-scale upgrades of ships of this class.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia lost the Black Sea shipyard that could provide overhaul for the aircraft carrier.

Another floating dock in the Far East with the same specifications as the PD-50 has become the only hardware facility in Russia that provides a large-scale upgrade for the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. However, it is not necessary to mention whether the reservoir ship that has not completed the upgrade project has the ability to cross the distance of tens of thousands of nautical miles and reach the floating dock in the Far East. Even if it really overcomes the difficulties that have prevented the land boundary in the Far East, it will greatly delay the modification of the Kuznetsov. The introduction of a new floating dock from China is a good choice. The Red Star Shipyard has already purchased a floating dock built in China. Now that Russia faces the blockade of the Western world, it is undoubtedly a dream to buy a large floating dock from the Western countries.

Kuznetsov’s maintenance site looks messy

Buying a brand new floating dock is far from being able to hydrolyze the thirst. After all, it takes a few years from negotiation, contracting and construction to delivery. Kuznetsov is afraid to wait. In contrast, China's Dalian Shipyard is more suitable for providing more comprehensive maintenance and upgrade work for this aircraft carrier. After all, as a place given to the new Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, the Varyag, Dalian Shipyard is fully capable of taking on this series of work.

China's Dalian Shipyard has become the world's most qualified place to provide major repairs for Russian aircraft carriers.

Of course, this seemingly romantic thing is actually difficult to perform in reality. However, this is also a large part of the extent of the Russian navy surface warships and the local shipbuilding industry after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Compared with the former student of China, nowadays it has become a teacher beyond all aspects. Under such a strong contrast, it is really inconvenient to let people send out the feeling of "the bleak autumn wind is now, it has changed the world". (Author's signature: Bear)

day after Russia's massive PD-50 drydock suddenly sank underneath the country's only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, as it was receiving a long-awaited overhaul in frigid Murmansk, just how big a deal this may end up being for the Russian Navy is becoming clearer. The dry dock, which is the largest of its kind in Russian hands, appears to have sunk at first on a steep incline before it disappeared totally beneath the water's surface. Russian officials are now saying that it could be many months before it is raised from the seabed 160 feet below and that doing so would be a very tedious and delicate operation. That's if they decide to salvage it at all.
Regardless, PD-50 services all types of vessels that make up Russia's most powerful fleet, including its largest submarines. So leaving it out of action for years, or even losing it altogether, would be a major hit for the Northern Fleet and the Russian Navy's overall readiness.

The incident supposedly occurred as the result of an electrical interruption during a refloating operation for the Admiral Kuznetsov. The hulking floating apparatus' pumps were stuck on, rapidly filling its ballast tanks. Some 60 people had to escape from the sinking dry dock, many of which ended up in the water. In total, some 70 people were evacuated from the port facility. As it stands now, four people were injured in the process and one remains missing—a senior mechanic. It's worth noting that the near-freezing waters near Kola Bay would give someone just a matter of minutes to get to a dry place before succumbing to hypothermia.

The 82nd Shipbuilding Plant and the PD-50 are situated between Murmansk and Severomorsk.
It seems that the accident may not have been a fluke and a criminal investigation into possible safety violations that at least contributed to the mishap is currently underway. A lawsuit also looks all but certain as well, Barents Observer reports:
"It is Rosneft that owns the floating dry dock after it in 2015 acquired the Shipyard No 82 in Roslyakovo. The oil company intends to turn the yard into a base for its offshore Arctic oil operations.
The United Shipbuilding Corporation now says that it intends to sue Rosneft and that the oilmen will have to cover costs related to the repair of the damaged ship."​
Although shipyard officials quickly claimed that the carrier was unharmed in the incident and that its refit schedule is left unchanged, other official sources have since said that the ship received a 15 foot by 12 foot gash in its hull near the waterline and that the crane that crashed on its deck potentially did significant damage to exposed mechanical systems. As we mentioned in our previous piece, the fact that there are conflicting reports, one of which seems ridiculously premature, isn't surprising as Russia has a track record of downplaying or not even admitting obvious naval shipyard accidents.
This image shows just one side of the heavily listing dry dock still above water:

The Kuznetsov is floating, albeit with a crane laying across its deck, and we really don't know exactly the extent of the damage. If there are flooded mechanical spaces, the ship could require extensive and very costly repairs. Maybe most concerning is the fact that there may be nowhere to even make those repairs as PD-50 was the only Russian dry dock that we know of that could handle the country's lone aircraft carrier.
This tweet shows the crane laying across the Kuznetsov's deck, also a side note, check out the late model Cadillac. Seems like an interesting vehicle to have up there in the Arctic Circle and in a naval shipyard of all places:

Speaking of accidents, PD-50 has been involved in a number of them in the past, including an especially harrowing incident back in 2011 when the Yekaterinburg (K-84), a nuclear ballistic missile submarine caught fire while drydocked in PD-50. The sub was loaded with nuclear-armed ballistic missiles and torpedoes. Crews flooded PD-50 twice to put out the inferno that went on for an entire day. You can read all about the incident and see remarkable pictures taken during it on this Russian website.
Regardless of the Kuznetsov's current state, it's pretty clear that the fate of the ship is tied directly to the operability of the PD-50 dry dock and has been for many years. Some commenters have mentioned that the dry dock originally came from Sweden during the 1980s, and considering the poor state of Russian large shipbuilding capabilities and sanctions, it is unlikely one could be sourced from Sweden this time around or built indigenously. Regardless, even if it was possible, doing so would take years.
This video clip looks promising at first, that is until you realize you are looking at the smaller dry dock that works as a utility area at the port, with PD-50 now totally submerged deep below the surface of the water:

The fact is that many others ships also depend on PD-50 as well, including the Northern Fleet's potent submarine cadre, which includes everything from smaller diesel-electric attack submarines to hulking ballistic missile carrying'boomers.' According to satellite images, Russia's submarines seem to have used the facility more than any other vessels. A cursory look of the sprawling constellation of naval installations in the region turns up no other dry dock that seems adept at hosting the largest of Russia's submarines, with all being in the sub-450 foot size range. And even if there was one, the capacity loss of such an important asset, one that can be seen servicing multiple vessels at one time due to its huge size, is a major blow for the Russian Navy and its fledgling modernization efforts.
There is a large floating dry dock in Novorossiysk on the Black Sea that carries the designation PD-190. It measures about 75 feet shorter than PD-50 at around 1,000 feet and its internal bay is about 60 feet narrower, at roughly 175 feet wide. It isn't clear if this dry dock has the ability to accommodate Kuznetsov, the beam difference is quite large, especially considering Kuznetsov's big flight deck overhangs, but it would be able to accommodate Russia's largest submarines.
Actually doing so would mean a long towed journey through the Bosphorus Strait, across the Mediterranean, into the Atlantic Ocean, and up into the Barents Sea. It would also mean the loss of large ship dry dock capability on the Black Sea. Another smaller floating dry dock, measuring approximately 815 feet long with a bay width of about 125 feet, stays very busy servicing Russia's Black Sea fleet in Sevastopol, Crimea. Keep in mind that Russia has never built an aircraft carrier itself and doesn't have elaborate facilities to service them. Those ships were built in Soviet Ukraine.

GOOGLE EARTH
While this dry dock may satisfy some of Russia's most pressing operational concerns that came as a result of the sinking of PD-50—like keeping their boomers maintained—if it can't accommodate Kuznetsov, the future of the carrier will have to be deeply in doubt. And even if Russia decides to transfer the dock to the Northern Fleet, it will take time to do so and it's not clear where it would even go once it arrives. Any way you slice it, a gap in maintenance for the Northern Fleet's most power vessels is likely to occur for the months to come.
Finally, I think it's worth mentioning that there is a real possibility that Russia could at least insinuate that some sort of cyber attack or sabotage was partially to blame for this event. Doing so would deflect responsibility for yet another in a long stream of embarrassing incidents involving the Admiral Kuznetsov.
If high-up Russian officials are willing to allege a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol and surveillance aircraft took control of terrorist drones that attacked Moscow's airbase in Syria, then accusing the U.S. of cyber meddling seems like very low-hanging fruit. The potential fallout from the loss of this unique dry dock, and from the fact that the Russian Navy still relies heavily on what clearly are weak points of potential failure, is a big pill to swallow for the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense.
We will continue to keep you up to date as this story unfolds.
