Was he really making a random scandalous statement? Or did he accidentally say more then he was supposed to, and then officials quickly rushed in to cover up his mistake? Also with admirals that have so little responsibility (or maybe understanding of naval technology?) once more the condition of the Russian Navy is completely atrocious.

And finally "revealed a number of substantial shortcomings on the flagship of the Northern Fleet, the Pyotr Veliky". Just because the reactor room wasn't about to explode, like the admiral claimed, doesn't mean the ship was in combat-ready conditions. The same applies to most of the Russian fleet.
