Default Russian CO steals his own bronze propellers

The Russian Navy says that a former commander of the now-decommissioned Sovremenny class destroyer Bespokoynyy conspired with others and stole the ship's two bronze propellers while it was in dry dock being converted into a floating museum. The alleged caper sounds like it was ripped straight from the plot of a comedic Hollywood heist movie, with the thieves reportedly swapping out the pair of screws, each weighing approximately 13 tons, for ones made out of a cheaper metal.

Well... if it’s decommissioned, who’s going to miss them?

I didn't believe what a read the first time
that's genius but also the stupidest thing that man could do because being the sole officer responsible for the safety of a decommissioned ship all responsibility in on him

More of the pension thing, the ship was being converted into a museum and the Captain decided to get some sweet retirement money going by swapping the bronse screw with a cheaper imitation, while selling the bronse.
