I feel that the Admiral Kuznetsov does more to embarrass and disgrace the Russian Navy by continuing to chug along at its maximum speed of "Slow Ahead," billowing clouds of partially combusted diesel visible to the naked eye from hundreds of km away!
Real stealth technology, that!

Interesting picture.
The US Navy had a few ships looking like that ... So did the Imperial Japanese Navy ... back in the early 1940s.
Generally as a result of one of those two navies getting very unfriendly with the other one.
It’s a ST:TOS Romulan cloaking maneuver!
