Yeah right...

The Russian navy is indeed in a dire state thanks to lack of funds, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was an attempt by the Admiralty to secure more funds for maintenence by sensationalizing the story.

More funding isn't a bad thing when you remember the horrible tragedies of the loss of the Kursk and the cold war sub that sank last year en route to the scrapyard.

I did read somewhere that there are 92 (or thereabouts) nuclear warheads lying on the bottom of the sea around the world.  

It's a sobering thought when you consider the damage that just one of those weapons could do...
