I hope they're not right and it can defend itself. Otherwise, I'd not be too happy sailing on her.

Every carrier if you look @ it that way is extremely vulnerable. Except they always have escorts & aircraft to defend themselves.( ours are a tad adrift) :D
But lets remember that the Russian carrier has to put to sea accompanied by an ocean going tug due to its propensity to breaking down :rofl
In other words dont believe the russian propaganda machine.
