Precisely.  What ever will the HATOstani trollz do without being able to laugh at the K's smoke plume?  Poor little dears, they will be inconsolable with their loss...  

Don't talk too fast. If it leeps smocking it will be a real problem because that would mean their naval industry sucks for real.

Why would it continue to smoke with all-new turbo-boilers ?????    ffs...

If they fucked up the new boilers during construction

Tug is simply standard procedure for long range naval sorties, they also double as logistic vessels(fuel and such), there are photos of Kuz being refueled from one on it's Syria deployment.

Supposedly a big part of the issue K & Sovrmennys have had is complex manual control & inexperienced/low motivation operators -> electronic control would help keep stuff burning optimally.

The source of the TASS agency in the emergency services said that the workers who had fallen as a result of the incident in the Kola Bay were saved.

The representative of the Zvezdochka Center for Ship Repair, Yevgeny Gladyshev, called the preliminary reason for the “unsuitable immersion” of the floating dock PD-50, in which the aircraft-carrying cruiser Admiral Kuznetsov was under repair.

According to Gladyshev, the reason for the “unsuitable immersion in water” of the floating dock PD-50 was the shutdown of pumps caused by a surge in the electrical network on the shore during the operation of “Admiral Kuznetsov” on the water, reports TASS .

According to incoming information, power outages in a number of areas of Murmansk occurred due to bad weather, which caused accidents on power lines.

The representative of the Ship Repair Center has not yet been able to clarify whether the dock is damaged.

According to a source in the emergency services, the launch of the aircraft-carrying cruiser from the floating dock was planned, the towing of “Admiral Kuznetsov” to the regular parking place at the 35th ship repair plant in Murmansk was being prepared.

Meanwhile, the medical unit "Sevryba" reported that two of the four victims of the flooding of the floating dock independently went home, another one in intensive care.

The crane, which fell from the sunken afloat PL-50, damaged the hull and takeoff deck of the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. This was announced by the head of USC.

At the same time, the TASS source in the operational departments clarified that "the fallen crane is still there, the scale of damage is being clarified."

According to the agency interlocutor, divers will inspect the underwater part of the aircraft carrier's hull during the day to make sure that it is not damaged.

Right, that early into refit/modernization they didn't need to re-float it, so it's a mishap. Electrical power must be supplied to drydock by underground/water cables to avoid it in the future. Pathetic!
This will set back the schedule "to the right".

Gonna presumably need K out of the water to properly fix that & K doesn't fit in Severodvinsk basin so they'll have to either raise & repair or replace the dock (was built in Sweden) before they can fix K
May need a crash program to build a new floating dock if it can't be patched up.
