Dr. S – I’ve watched Kuznetsov grow from when he was a keel-block. I’m fairly certain that the Russian ingenuity in engineering skills will see the ship back and working again – you just have to be patient. Nothing happens very quickly over there – but their capacity to surprise is impressive. Please resist the temptation to call Kuznetsov ‘she’ as this is simply not correct. If you can’t bring yourself to call him ‘he’ then please refer to the vessel as ‘it’.
