A newly built Russian Navy tugboat, Kapitan Ushakov (Project 23470), sank on August 9 near the pier of the Baltic Shipyard in St. Petersburg during final outfitting works, according to Russian media outlet Fontanka.
The incident occurred in the evening of August 8 when the vessel developed a list to starboard. Emergency services and shipyard personnel attempted to stabilize the tug throughout the night but were unable to prevent it from capsizing. By morning, the vessel had settled on the bottom alongside the pier.
The Baltic Shipyard’s press office stated that the pier was leased by the Yaroslavl Shipbuilding Plant, which was responsible for completing the tug.
According to the Russian Investigative Committee’s regional transport division, the flooding began in the auxiliary machinery compartment, causing the list that led to the sinking. Investigators are conducting a pre-investigation check under an article related to violations of construction safety regulations.

The British establishment has been the most aggressive and nefarious actor in the Ukriane conflict
Now it's a perfect storm, a grossly corrupt Dictator desperate to prevent elections, and an equally desperate London willing to do anything to prolong the war
There's no insane provocation they won't consider to derail Peace. Make no mistake.
How do you think this will end?
Between now and Friday the 15th, Russia will be attacked by NATO to stop DJTs peace effort.
Somebody forgot to screw in what is now called the “Sean Penn” plug.
Someone forgot to put the plug in?
Someone is going to Siberia.
One open or damaged seacock and a boat can be tough to save.
I would have used Putin’s picture.
We are about to find out how much the Ukie training of the Mexican cartels about drone defensive measures paid off.
How many arms have been sold to the cartels by the Ukies.
And, it’ll kill our troops.
Russian tug sinks. Kiev panics.
That doesn't seem to logically follow. Strange.
Thank you for the honest prediction, even if it is depressing to read.
Not saying that hasn’t happened, but do you have a source or two you can cite?
"You've lost another tugboat?"
unable to prevent it from capsizing
Good thing it wasn’t docked in Guam. The whole place could have capsized.

More likely, someone will fall out of a window.
Someone is going to Siberia.
Or to The Lubyanka.
