Moskva, formerly Slava, was a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. The ship was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class, named after the city of Moscow. Being the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, she led the naval assault during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. The cruiser had previously been deployed in several military conflicts, including in Georgia (2008), Crimea (2014), and Syria (2015). With a crew of 510, Moskva was the most powerful surface vessel in the Black Sea region. She sank on 14 April 2022 in the Black Sea, 100 km from the coast of Odessa. Ukrainian officials and the US Department of Defense said Ukraine attacked the cruiser with two R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles. The Russian Ministry of Defence said a fire caused a munitions explosion. The Russian Navy attempted to tow the damaged ship toward Sevastopol, but she sank before reaching the port. Moskva is the largest warship to be sunk in combat since World War II.According to the Lithuanian defense minister there were a total of 485 crew members on board including 66 officers. He also said that a "Turkish ship" responded to a distress call and saved 54 crew members at 2:00 am local time. The captain of the ship was reported to have died in the incident. Russia have not announced any casualties in the fire or the sinking of the ship. American sources believed there were casualties in the event.
