Are you ready to delve into the cursed tale of the Admiral Kuznetsov, a ship plagued by misfortune at every turn? Join us as we uncover the bizarre and unfortunate history of this Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrying cruise.
In this video, we explore the fascinating, and at times absurd, journey of the Admiral Kuznetsov. From its construction in the Soviet Union to its tumultuous deployments and multiple encounters with calamities, this ship has earned its reputation as one of the most cursed vessels in naval history.
Legend has it that renaming a ship is an attempt to deceive the gods and brings about a curse. The Admiral Kuznetsov went through not one, not two, but three name changes—Riga, Leonid Brezhnev, Tbilisi—before finally settling on its current name. Did these attempts to slip past the gods contribute to its cursed fate?
Initially designed in 1979 by the Soviet Union, the Admiral Kuznetsov's construction began in 1982, facing its first set of challenges from the beginning. Learn about its near completion in 1989 and the political turmoil involving Ukraine, leading to a decision that haunted the Russian government.
The ship faced economic hardships and technical issues, causing it to sit idle for years. Its first deployment in 1995 was supposed to mark the 300th anniversary of the Russian Navy, but it ended up anchored due to water evaporator issues. Discover the ship's subsequent struggles, including a disastrous 2008 deployment with plumbing and electrical problems and a notorious oil spill off Ireland.
As we progress through the years, witness the Admiral Kuznetsov's encounters with fires, sinkings, and constant repairs. From a sinking drydock in 2018 to a major fire in 2019, the ship's journey becomes increasingly absurd.
Currently sitting in drydock since 2018, the Admiral Kuznetsov faces more delays due to "bad weather" and recent fires. Will it finally be handed over to the Russian Navy in 2024, or is the curse destined to continue?
