I kinda chuckled at the tug. Even on the big showboat tour, they know they have to bring a tug. e- https://x.com/Lawmadillo/status/1801247833137287225

Did the Helena lobby to have a deck gun retrofit on so they'd have something more cost effective to use against the tug?

McNally posted:Anyone else notice what appears to be a chunk missing from the sail? That panel looks like it's deliberately removed as part of a rig for surface, if you look at the camera guy, there's some sort of trunk there, probably in a free-flood zone. In contrast to US submarines, Russian boats have massive bridges internal to their sails, presumably to shelter the crew from the elements in frigid Russian winters. Don't discount the Severodvinsk class just because they're part of the shitshow that is the Russian Navy, they're incredibly capable vessels. E: you can see the panel's popped out and folded down, with two tabs to secure it at the top, with internal-facing fasteners, I bet it's an air-intake for use on the surface. E2: and an Adidas Tracksuit clad arm in the opening, lol. Elviscat fucked around with this message at 11:49 on Jun 14, 2024 |

Quite literally nothing has changed. It could, and will, absolutely happen again barring some big changes in this country. I'm not even being a doom sayer here, I'm just being straight up factual at this point.

Arguably having the bump stock saved lives since it’s a less controllable shooting platform.
