Editing Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier (section)

===Reliability===

''Admiral Kuznetsov'' has been plagued by years of technical problems. The vessel's steam turbines and turbo-pressurised boilers have been reported to be so unreliable that the carrier is accompanied by a large ocean-going tug whenever it deploys, in case it breaks down. There are also flaws in the water piping system, which causes it to freeze during winter. To prevent pipes from bursting, the water is turned off in most of the cabins, and half the latrines do not work.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/21/russian-carrier-plagued-by-technical-problems/ |title=Belching smoke through the Channel, Russian aircraft carrier so unreliable it sails with its own breakdown tug |first=Ben |last=Farmer |date=21 October 2016 |newspaper=The Daily Telegraph |access-date=27 November 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223234127/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/21/russian-carrier-plagued-by-technical-problems/ |archive-date=23 December 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref>
