...bad photo of sunken Russian drydock;



Russia's aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, was damaged in Murmansk when the dry dock PD-5 where it was undergoing a refit sank on Oct. 30, 2018, sending a giant crane crashing on to the ship. PD-5 is known as one of the world's largest floating dry docks. (Photo/Agencies)
