he Anti-War Coalition is outraged at the National Nuclear Regulator's
decision to grant a Russian nuclear-powered ship permission to dock in
Cape Town. The Pyotr Velikii -- Russian for Peter the Great --
which has been deemed too big to berth at the V&A Waterfront,
will anchor on the eastern side of the harbour for about two days.
It's en route to the Arabian Sea to take part in exercises with
the Indian Navy.
It's not the first time the Mother City has welcomed a nuclear-powered
warship into its waters. But there's been an uproar around the
Pyotr Velikii's docking at Table Bay harbour. The ship’s
maintenance record hasn't been squeaky clean.
