I mean, while she absolutely does not look great, this is also the expected condition for a ship that's been at sea for 200+ days without even a port call. Saltwater is hell on metal, and paint can only do so much for so long.

    How to ragebait the right: "look at all those torpedo marks at the water line! They must have some thick hulls, bless." 100s of comments on Tiktok news channels.

    Same channel: "that ship is about to experience chlamydia and herpes, better stock up on penicillin and valtrex" (upon landing on a sex capital of the world).....nothing. zero comments.

    Not the most ragged lookin' ship I've ever seen, but for a representative of the world's most expensive Navy she's looking absolutely shabby.

    This one's got a long way to go to being Kuznetsov'd, for one you need to weld off unused areas, then make the engine room look like something from Saw, replace the catapult with a cope slope. Oh, and have it spew clouds of black smoke whenever it's not moved by tugs (which is like 10%), maybe keep it in port for "modernization" for a few years too

    I mean, sure, but...

    Is it really that surprising that a passenger aboard an ocean liner would have a better experience than a sailor aboard a warship?
