Moskva (Москва, lit. 'Moscow'), formerly Slava (Слава, lit. 'Glory'), was a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. The ship was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class and was named after the city of Moscow. She was the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet and helped lead the naval assault during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. With a crew of 510, she was the most powerful surface vessel in the region. The cruiser had previously been deployed in several military conflicts, including in Georgia (2008), Crimea (2014), and Syria (2015).
She sank on 14 April 2022 in the Black Sea. Ukrainian officials and the US Defense Department said Ukraine attacked the cruiser with two anti-ship cruise 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 port. Moskva is the largest warship to be sunk in combat since World War II.
