Russia (like China) has little in the way of a naval tradition. An Office Corp and Senior Enlisted without experience does not spell success...
John Paul Jones was the father of both the US and Russian Navy, unfortunately the Navy leadership and traditions were hit significantly in the communist “revolution”.
While they ended up recovering to some extent in the cold war, commanders lost a huge amount of their independence due to onboard political officers.
This independent thought is crucial to maneuver warfare in naval combat, moreso than in infantry as the number of units are limited and cannot be as easily replaced as raw infantry.
The last 10-15 years has seen such little real operations tempo that they have lost a generation of experience and are now knowledge gapped again for the second time in 100 years.
