About the wreck
Moskva, formerly Slava, 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.
The cruiser was deployed during the Russo-Georgian War and 2014 Russian annexation of Crimea, and Russia's intervention in Syria (2015). She led the naval assault during the Russo-Ukrainian war, from February 2022 until her sinking on 14 April 2022.
