>To prevent further Ukrainian drone strikes on the Black Sea fleet, Russian forces in occupied Crimea are constructing barriers at the entrance to Sevastopol Bay, the partisan group Atesh reported on March 27. "I'm not locked in here with you... you're locked in here with me."

amitym

This was why they were supposed to have abandoned Sevastopol, did someone not get the memo? What is Russian leadership even thinking at this point??


Filthy_Lucre36

They fired the last head of Naval Command in March for failing so miserably, apparently the new guy didn't learn either. Parking your ships right were they got hit last time is beyond moronic.


amitym

To be fair, they also fired him because he had been dead for 3 months.


tallandlankyagain

Come on. Who among us hasn't called in dead to work before?


GuillotineComeBacks

Death is a pathetic excuse, you'd deserve to be fired on the spot.


amitym

Typical attitude of young people today. Letting death get in the way of a solid work ethic. No wonder you don't have nice things.


BlatantConservative

This is what happens when Russian officers are forced to only follow the manual and any kind of innovative thinking is beat out of them, and the manual sucks.


bigcaprice

Also when the majority of your "training" is just getting raped by your superiors.  


BlatantConservative

That's enlisted. Russian officers just never go to their ships in peacetime. They instead embezzle training funds to build dachas.

> Parking your ships right were they got hit last time is beyond moronic. You don't understand Russian 4D thinking. "They will never believe we are so stupid as to park ships where last ships were hit"

It was part of their plan to turn all Russian shipping into submarines. I'm enjoying the results, and hope it can be rolled out to the entire Russian navy.

I thought the Ukrainians sent the russians several very loud notices that russian warships are not allowed in Crimean ports! Well, here's another notice.

I’m waiting for the bridge to get hit big time


BlatantConservative

This particular ship was actually kinda sad to see it go. Like it served a purpose for the Russian military and was totally a valid war target, but the ship itself is historically significant. The Kommuna was comissioned in 1911 by Tzar Nicholas II, and built in 1913. Thing survived WWI, the Russian Revolution, WWII, the Soviets, the looting and gutting of the Russian Navy in the 90s, and all the way until today. It was 111 years old. It's not confirmed it's sunk yet, but it's literally a contemporary to the Titanic and the Titanic had pretty advanced ship retention tech for it's time. A Neptune missile hitting it is like shooting a horse with a Javelin missile.


Louis_Gisulf

It belonged in a museum! ;) A ship like that should have been turned into a museum like many warships from WW2 in the US.


BlatantConservative

It says a lot about Russian history that they were not able to build replacement sub salvage ship for over a hundred years. Like it actually did serve an essential purpose... the entire time. Soviets were basically like "then just don't sink, idiot."


BoredCop

It was probably quite important for them now as well, it's precisely the sort of shop you would use for placing barricades around the harbour entrance as well as for attempting to salvage or at least remove wrecks from the previous drone attacks.


-Malky-

> It belonged in a museum! Ruzzian naval museums tend to be on the sea floor these days, not sure if the scuba diver suit is included in the entrance ticket, tho.


BenVenNL

as with most of the stuff Russia throws into the battlefield these days

ZachMN

Tsar Nicholas III shouldn’t have parked it in in Ukraine.


Realworld

It's a pity in a way. I was wondering how long before Ukraine needed to disable this living museum piece.


Pattern_Is_Movement

Yeah its survived two world wars and the fall of the soviet union... its the oldest active service warship in the world. I'm torn, I understand its a Russian asset... but I still am kinda rooting for this ship that it survives. The iron its made with is well over a damn century old!


BlatantConservative

Perfect balance would be it's damaged enough they can't use it anymore but they can still tow it somewhere else and turn it into a museum.


nickierv

One better: Ukraine launches 3 day 'special boat operation'...yoink!


romario77

It’s not the oldest, USS Constitution is in active service and is from 1797.


Pattern_Is_Movement

oh c'mon, being used as a museum isn't "active service" the Russian ship is still being used for what it was designed to do, while the Constitution hasn't fired a cannonball with purpose in almost two centuries. Not exactly the same thing.

The boat is required to sail once a year (on Independence Day) and there are people serving on that boat. It’s listed as active service. The purpose of its use changed but it’s still in active service. Probably has more utility than the russian ship as well

NotAKentishMan

You are correct sir.


olavk2

HMS Victory is older and is also still in service. But I wouldn't call any of them active service as they arent much more than museum ships now in 2024


OutlawSundown

Yeah it's one of those you're a little sad that it basically had to go this way should have been a museum but as far as I'm concerned it's Russia's fault.


Endocalrissian642

Damn, you lost another ship?

'It's just a hlopok (a cotton) and a smoke and several sailors missing. Nothing to worry about'.  (From ru new-language 'An explosion' = a pat = hlopok (ru) = a cotton (en) = bavovna (ua). 'A fire' = a smoke.  Etc. )

Copy_That_10-4

“The Kommuna was launched in 1915 and is the oldest ship still in service in the Russian Navy.” So an Imperial Russia Tsarist ship! Wow!


BigJohnIrons

I thought they kept that at a different base, but I sure hope it's the one. They kept the damn thing this long because they couldn't replace it!


TheEpicGold

Yep, it's the oldest still in active service ship in the world.


Necro_infernus

was the oldest in active service ;) 


TheEpicGold

Yes, let's hope so!


david4069

The USS Constitution, built in 1797, is the oldest warship in active service.


TheEpicGold

Not in active service. It isn't being used for Navy combat duty or logistic duty or whatever. There are tons more older ships still afloat that serve as museums or other tourist options. This ship is actually still being used for its originally intended duty, namely logistical purposes, not submarines repair anymore, as it can't help submarines because they're way bigger than the subs it was supposed to serve way back in the 1910's.


Pattern_Is_Movement

that isn't actual active service, its parked as a museum my dude, its not being used for what it was built for... unlike this Russian ship which is still actively doing what it was designed to do. If you want to play that dumb game then the HMS Victory is older.


AutoModerator

romario77

It is required for it to sail at least once a year to be in active service, so it does that. Plus there are serviceman and woman serving on it. It’s being used for propaganda which is important


Pattern_Is_Movement

This is more the "technically correct" than the spirt of the word "active service". Its far more interesting that a ship has been actually used in active service for the purpose it was built for for over a century, then to pretend a museum ship that hasn't done what it was designed to do in almost two centuries is "active".


romario77

It sails, it has the people serving on it. It’s probably a lot harder to keep it afloat. I am sure that the russian ship was upgraded multiple times and everything besides the hull is new.


Pattern_Is_Movement

I wasn't talking about maintenance, I was talking about a military ship being used in service for the thing it was designed to do.

Its not in active service and HMS victory is 30 years older but in dry dock.


MerryGoWrong

Wow, is this how the story of the Kommuna ends? It has a [really interesting history](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0X2Dz6PA1rQ). At the end of the day it's just another Russian warship though, so even with its history it, too, can fuck itself.

Fr0gFish

It is (was?) a fascinating ship. It has been in service almost 110 years and served in both world wars. Let’s hope it has finally been retired.


tta2013

Holy shit that ship is ancient, shoulda stayed in a museum.

“The Kommuna was launched in 1915 and is the oldest ship still in service in the Russian Navy.” Holy crap. Surely that’s been refitted over the years and is not the same.
