The claim
According to tweets and sharepics, a Russian poster does not show a Russian warship, but rather a US aircraft carrier.
Our conclusion
In fact, the poster briefly hung in the western Siberian city of Tyumen.
According to various tweets and sharepics, Russia does have the “most powerful navy in the world”, but apparently there is no real photo of it, because one poster actually shows not a Russian warship, but the US aircraft carrier “USS George HW Bush” - and This faux pas is not even hidden in the Russian media .
The poster
Here you can see the poster that briefly hung in the city center of Tyumen, a city in Western Siberia:

The poster reads “с Днем Военно-Морского Флота!”, in German: “Happy Navy Day”.
Embarrassing, however, that it is actually the US aircraft carrier “USS George HW Bush” (see HERE ).

An oversight by someone unknown?
The local Russian news site based in Tyumen also reported the embarrassing mistake (see HERE ). It says that the Navy actually makes and puts up its own posters, but that this poster did not come from them and was put up by unknown people.
Shortly after the poster was discovered, the city administration removed it. However, this was not the first poster with errors in Tyumen: in April 2022, for example, a poster celebrating the "Great Patriotic War" hung there for several days, but instead of "1941 - 1945" the banner said "1944 - 1945" (see HERE ).
But even more harmless spelling mistakes like “teriitorium” instead of “territory” often creep onto posters there (see HERE ).
Theft of pictures seems to be a tradition
As London-based country risk analyst Alex Kokcharow notes, the US aircraft carrier on the poster is not necessarily an exception, but rather the rule. In Russia, it is common to use images from US history to promote narratives of Soviet/Russian victories:

Conclusion
Whether the picture of the US aircraft carrier “USS George HW Bush” accidentally ended up on the poster and it was hung up by unknown people in Tyumen or whether it was an official poster and the blame is now being shifted cannot be answered clearly .
But the fact is that it was actually hanging in the city in Western Siberia, the local press even reported the error and it was removed shortly after it was discovered.
Also interesting:
Several photos appear to show Russian military personnel wearing black uniforms with skull patches - supposedly their new uniform.
But it's not just the photos that are old - the uniforms are even older. – No, the Russian military does not have new uniforms with skull patches
