Aircraft Carriers III

The lone Russian carrier Admiral Kuznetsov is undergoing maintenance in a floating drydock. I've got no clue where and when these photos were taken. The photos are dated today, 01.16.2016....even though I saw them first yesterday....Enjoy!
I read in Marine Forum Daily News some days ago that she had gone into dry dock. It is in the same place the Indian flattop was reconstructed.

Wow that thing is a giant but the condition is very poor
It will need very heavy overhaul to make that a front line fighting machine
It needs a good year or so in re fit and then reconfigure it for Mig29K operations

a little odd the way the anchor and chain are laid out?? I'm not real into this stuff, but that appears odd to me???
In general a CVN/CAW with 1 Ticonderoga, 3 Burke sometimes* 5 MSC, a SSN, a Supply or one Kaiser and one Lewis and Clarck ( in tandem, carry more log that the Supply but don' t allow to a TF the same speed ).
Actually the Truman deployed have for escort 1 Ticonderoga and 4 Burke thinking war time device.
For power about 50 fighters/EA-18G etc... ~ 400 +/500+ cell's for missiles with the SSN armed with 26/50 weapons.

Just that the anchor was aft of the chain hoist, and that the chain was "payed out", with the anchor aft of were it would naturally fall?? I'm no expert, but I just don't recall an anchor and chain being strung out behind the bow, and in fact I would suppose it might get in the way of maintenance???
AFB I just browsed many USN photos of anchors in maintenance and the Russians do do their anchor maintenance differently than the USN. That is just how they roll.
