That ship was ready for the scrap heap. Covered in rust. Probably even worse inside. Floating death trap for those men. The Russian “navy” is a pathetic joke.

It appears that the ship wasn't in tip top shape. Was that one of their best?

Check out this photo taken onboard the Moskva decades ago.

The deck seems to have been rust colored even then.

Is it actual rust, or rust-colored nonskid? You make the call.
