Tell me I'm seeing things...

Is there a crack in the ship's hull, directly below the massive bridge structure? Looks like the hull plates are coming off! Must be an optical illusion.

I'm leery of another Soviet nuclear disaster (my mind replaying scenes from Chernobyl and Widowmaker).

Does replacing a "Motor" require removing the reactor vessel? I would think not...

It does look like there is a plate separation or something below the bridge ...

And further translation does indicate that it is a steering motor (azimuth thruster) that was shorted out.

Will still require removing the entire generating unit for the repair.
