That floating piece of shit should have been put out to pasture a long time ago

You'd get lockjaw immediately apon touching that wall. Is that part of the ships defense? Immediate Tetanus?

How is this even a semi-working machine?

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 37 points 3 weeks ago

It's very simple, Ivan. When there's a fault, we just seal off the whole area, and the problem is solved forever.

Not even a joke, apparently they have two whole decks where "nobody goes"..

I can almost breathe the asbestos in this picture...

I wonder, if it's put on sale, Ukraine or supporter should buy it.

Problem: it gives Russia money.

But buying it to turn it into smoke grenades (the best smoke grenades to ever exist) would be really funny XD

The really shitty part is that Ukraine (as the Ukrainian SSR) built the damn thing, and the Russian CO actually just weighed anchor and fucked off to a Russian port when the USSR collapsed despite orders from the Ukrainian government to not do that.

As The Prophecy foretold.

I'm pretty sure that was debunked for being obscenely obscenely expensive and fairly obvious.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

You're telling me stealing a Russian aircraft carrier, putting it in orbit, and then dropping it on the Kremlin is... unfeasible?!

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Ooh I get what you mean now, it's just phrased kinda odd.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

"Oh thank god, we're off this rustbucket."

Narrator: And then it got worse.

[-] ZapBeebz_@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

It's been unlikely to ever deploy again since the floating drydock it was in caught fire and almost sank the damn boat

Most of the English impressment was drafting able seamen from other vessels, usually merchants.

The intrinsic counter-loyalty fueled the Golden Age of Piracy.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
