The warship that belongs to Russia's Northern Fleet and normally sails in Arctic waters might never again disembark its men and armoured vehicles.

What a stupid title

Edit: removed clickbait from the title. Somehow I thought that everyone already knew the ship was built by Poland during the Cold War, so leaving it in the title wouldn’t be an issue.

Thanks! Much better

Though coming to this article as I do now, I was initially baffled by the top comment of "What a stupid title."

Maybe a feature like Reddit had that indicates when something has been edited would be helpful.

There is a little pen icon and how long ago it was modified. Though it is pretty low-key.

Ah, kbin doesn't have that. Presumably on the to-do list.

For real. I'm reading this thinking "why is Poland getting actively involved and why did Ukraine attack them?"

I mean, on the one hand, it helps demonstrate that Russia does not necessarily have the expertise to repair/replace it, as the boat is Polish-designed and built. On the other hand, it really has no relevance in the title, and belongs with an explanation in the body of the article instead.
