Moskva, was a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. Commissioned in 1983, she was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class, named after the city of Moscow. With a crew of 510, Moskva was the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet and the most powerful warship in the region.
In February 2022, the cruiser left Sevastopol to participate in the attack on Ukraine. The ship was later used against the Ukrainian armed forces during the attack on Snake Island. Moskva hailed the island's garrison over the radio and demanded its surrender, and was told "Russian warship, go f__k yourself"
On the 13th of April 2022 two R-360 Neptune missiles hit the Moskva. The Russian Ministry of Defence said a fire caused a munitions explosion, and the ship sank in stormy seas while being towed to port. Moskva is the largest warship to be sunk in combat since the ARA General Belgrano in the 1982 Falklands War, and the largest Russian warship to be sunk since World War II

There's a lot of rust on the deck of that ship. They did Russia a favor

It wasn’t sunk, it was converted to submarine.
