The Russian approach is to insist that the entire crew remain on board. They do NOT have any provision on land for their sailors. (Otherwise, they'd flee.) Russian ships, TBH, stink like toilets. I know, I've been on one. And it was dressed up for show. (!)

His kid is in training -- to take over. This was the tactic used by the Kim family in Nork.

@runethorsen8423 From the Ukrainians & Russians. It was a Soviet practice -- that has been handed down. Now, the top officers, that's a whole 'nother thing. If you go back to the Battleship Potemkin -- the back story was that the boys were STUCK on that ship. It was still at the pier when the fracas got rolling. So, this tradition goes back more than a century. In the age of sail, the Royal Navy thought nothing of using laid-up ships as living quarters -- both for prisoners and for their own. Money was THAT tight. Such ships were termed "in ordinary." (They didn't even have masts.) The exact opposite of battle worthy. The very idea of barracks for sailors came along pretty late in military history. Before then, the sailors were just released into the general community -- 'on leave' was the expression. When it was time to sail, the powers that be would hustle up any breathing soul. (Impressment -- casus belli for the War of 1812) Such antics were faithfully recorded in the British film "Damn the Defiant."

The kid is in training. The Kim family business operated the exact same way in Nork
