RN:
HMS Bulwark in 1912, one of five London-class pre-dreadnought battleships
A powerful internal explosion ripped Bulwark apart at about 07:53 on 26 November while she was moored at Number 17 buoy in Kethole Reach, 4 nautical miles (7.4 km; 4.6 mi) west of Sheerness in the estuary of the River Medway. All the ship's officers were killed in the explosion and only a dozen ratings survived. A total of 741 men were lost, including members of the band of the gunnery school, HMS Excellent, which was playing aboard. Only about 30 bodies were recovered after the explosion.
A naval court of enquiry into the causes of the explosion that was held on 28 November ruled out external explosions such as a torpedo or a mine because eyewitnesses spoke of a flash of flame near the aft turret and then one or two explosions quickly following, not the towering column of water associated with explosions against the outer hull. The gunnery logbook, recovered partially intact, and the testimony of the chief gunner's clerk, as well as several other survivors, said the six-inch ammunition magazines were being restowed to keep the cordite propellant charges together in lots that morning. This meant at least 30 exposed charges had been left in the cross-passages between the ship's magazines with the magazine doors left open when the ship's company was called to breakfast at 07:45. These passages were also used to stow hundreds of six-inch and twelve-pounder shells, and the board concluded that the cordite charges had been stowed against one of the boiler-room bulkheads which was increasing in temperature as the boilers were fired up. This ignited the cordite charges which detonated the nearby shells and spread to the aft twelve-inch magazine, which exploded

the ship lack airdefense missile and ciws it seem , but then it got a strong anti ship load out (8 klub in container below the heli deck ) , what power pack it used ? Russia diesel engine or Chinese import diesel engine ? + does the ship still take 3 year to be built ? ( Russian ship took pretty long time to be built and finish , lack of labor ? or the shipyard just drag in on in fear of idle if they built the ship too fast and run out of order )pr.22160 Patrol ship Pavel Derzhavin joined the Russian Navy in Novorossiysk.

I am not an navy expert, but i think it is more of a patrol ship not combat ship. She can be equipped with missile containers with various missiles in the war time, but at the moment they are not equipped with any antiship or antiair missile.
2 russian 16Д49 diesels (Kolomensky zavod).
3 years it is a good period for Russian-build ship, more complex and bigger ship still constructed by decade or longer. There are the various reasons for such long time of construction.

yup seeing how Russian built our 2000t gepard frigate ( took them 3 year @@ which is kinda fast like you say but extremely slow ) Russian ship building is slow for some weird reason , yet your submarine build time are much faster ( maybe submarine shipyard are better fund and manage to maintain they worker after the fall of soviet in 90s ? while shipyard didn't ? another bad thing about Russia naval export are lack of transfer of tech .
btw nice to heard it using Russian engine , how about turbine engine ? are you guy now able to made them ?

If China is mad..so be it. And these Malabar exercises have been going on since 1992. China should be use to it after 28 years!
from wiki....Exercise Malabar is a trilateral naval exercise involving the United States, Japan and India as permanent partners. Originally begun in 1992 as a bilateral exercise between India and the United States, Japan became a permanent partner in 2015.[1] Past non-permanent participants include Singapore and Australia. The annual Malabar exercises includes diverse activities, ranging from fighter combat operations from aircraft carriers through maritime interdiction operations, anti-submarine warfare, diving salvage operations, amphibious operations, counter-piracy operations, cross–deck helicopter landings and anti–air warfare operations
