Putin's Northern Fleet floating some time BEFORE it sank. Could it be Peter the Great battlecruiser (?) inside it.

It was early morning October 30, 2018 in Roslyakovo, within Russia's massive Northern Fleet complex a crane accident damaged Russia carrier Kuznetzov. At the same time Russia's largest, 80,000 tonne floating dock sank.

It has been left to Russia’s Minister of Industry and Trade, Denis Manturov (not the publicity averse Minister of Defense it seems!) to explain the floating dock will itself be refloated. But poor Denis doesn’t know when.


The floating dock is important because it helps maintain Russia’s nuclear propelled battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy (aka Peter the Great) currently involved in nuclear missile testing. The dock is also likely involved in the maintenance of Russia’s SSBNs. 

Might a charitable large floating dock owner - maybe France, Greece, Germany, Britain, others (?) or his best friend Trump, loan poor Putin another one?!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_dock#Modern_era
