7 years on this thread and you're still making up your own facts to fit your narrative. So your source is a n excerpt from a deleted article written by CV16's "chief engineer"? So this "chief engineer" is the only person who saw these dead sailors? He's the only one who saw a 60 000 ton ship adrift in the bohai sea? Riiiight.Correct, it is posting a 404 error because it was scrubbed but the excerpt is 一次航母试航过程中,后机炉舱给水管泄露,大量滚烫的炉水和蒸汽喷涌而出,机舱瞬间就淹没在水汽当中。得知情况后,楼富强立即到达现场,“班长以上人员留下,其他人员马上撤离!”下达完命令后,他一拉衣领就冲了进去,头发淋湿了,身上烫伤了,衣服刮破了……在他的带领下,大家奋不顾身,看不到破损的部位就用手摸,底板架太高就跳到热浪袭人的舱底抢修
It was an article posted about the chief engineer and what a basket case the engines of Liaoning are with equipment failure of 500 items and what a master engineer he was to even get it to sea but still could not prevent tragedy.
You seem to miss the point that the steel of Varyag was left untreated from 1985 until 2005 when it was drydocked at Dalian. That is a span of 20 years with no treatment, 17 years of it was in the water. You can't just leave it with no maintenance and have it be sea worthy. French were there pissing on its deck trudging through the rust piles to measure it for traversing the Hellespont. It is verifiable facts that this ship was not taken care of, that Ukraine tried selling it to everyone through public auction and Chinese were the only ones dumb enough to buy it as a "training ship" that never leaves Chinese waters. These are facts, lipstick on a pig.
As for the Gorshkov, whatever its problems it is still the most fit for duty of the three currently serving FSU carriers. Liaoning is at the bottom.
The rest of your post is even worse nonsense. The ship was launched in 1988. How is it launched with no treatment or paint? It's Hull still had that paint when refit began in 2003. Construction was halted in 1991. How can a ship under construction " be so rusty it's not even worth scrapping"? Russia was too broke to maintain the ships it inherited in '91, let alone complete as carrier with no shipyards capable of doing so in post soviet Russia.
Do u want a list of the ships they let rot or decommissioned or mothballed? Nakimov is one, and it's being refurbished now more than a decade later.
And I didn't know French piss can eat thru military grade steel?
Based on your "chief engineer" maybe. But everyone else who has the eyes to see and read would tell a different story indian "Frenchman". I've wasted enough debating a fanboy as is.
