"Admiral Kuznetsov" Taking a Long Nap
On May 13, the Russian Navy's sole aircraft carrier, "Admiral Kuznetsov", was towed to the 82nd Shipyard in Roslyakovo for out-of-water maintenance.
, the Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier was placed in the shipyard's PD-50 floating dock.
The question on everyone's mind is: how long will repairs last? Fleet officials would only say that workers needed to complete a survey of the ship
before they could determine the full scope of work and finalize work orders.
Today, the first 13 contracts for the aircraft carrier's repairs were released. Based on a review of the contracts, it appears "Admiral Kuznetsov" will be out of business until at least December 2016. The combined total cost of the initial contracts: RUB 1,308,808,984. Below is a breakdown of the contractual information.
