Moskva (Russian: Москва, lit. 'Moscow'), formerly Slava (Russian: Слава, lit. 'Glory'), is a guided missile cruiser of the Russian Navy. She was the lead ship of the Project 1164 Atlant class and was named after the city of Moscow. It is the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.[4]
On 13 April 2022, two Ukrainian officials said Moskva had been hit by Ukrainian Neptune anti-ship missiles and was afire in heavy seas. The Russian Ministry of Defense said the ship was seriously damaged after a fire caused a munitions explosion, without any reference to a Ukrainian strike.
History
As Slava
Slava was laid down in 1976 in Shipyard 445 of the 61 Kommunara Shipbuilding Plant in Mykolaiv, was launched in 1979, and commissioned on 30 January 1983. Between 18–22 November 1986 the ship visited the Greek port of Piraeus.
Slava played a role in the Malta Summit (2–3 December 1989) between Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev and US President George H. W. Bush. She was used by the Soviet delegation, while the US delegation had their sleeping quarters aboard USS Belknap.[5][6][7] The ships were anchored in a roadstead off the coast of Marsaxlokk. Stormy weather and choppy seas resulted in some meetings being cancelled or rescheduled, and gave rise to the moniker the "Seasick Summit" among international media. In the end, the meetings took place aboard Maxim Gorkiy, a Soviet cruise ship anchored in the harbor at La Valletta.[citation needed]
Slava returned to Mykolaiv in December 1990 for a refit that lasted until April 2000.[citation needed]
As Moskva
Recommissioned as Moskva in April 2000, she replaced the Kynda-class cruiser Admiral Golovko as the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet.[8]
In early April 2003, Moskva, along with Russian patrol boat Pytlivy [ru], Smetlivy, and a landing ship departed Sevastopol for exercises in the Indian Ocean with a Pacific Fleet task group (Marshal Shaposhnikov and Admiral Panteleyev) and the Indian Navy.[9] The force was supported by the Project 1559V tanker Ivan Bubnov and the Project 712 ocean-going tug Shakhter.
In years 2008 and 2009, she visited Mediterranean Sea and participated in naval drills with the ships of the Northern Fleet.[10][circular reference]
In August 2008, in support of the Russian invasion of Georgia, Moskva was deployed to secure the Black Sea.[11][12][13] During a brief surface engagement, the Georgian Navy scored one missile hit on Moskva before being overwhelmed.[14] After Russia's recognition of Abkhazia's independence, the ship was stationed at the Abkhazian capital, Sukhumi.[citation needed]
On 3 December 2009, Moskva was laid up for a month at floating dock PD-30 for a scheduled interim overhaul which comprised replacement of cooling and other machinery, reclamation work at bottom and outboard fittings, propulsion shafts and screws, clearing and painting of bottom and above-water parts of the ship's hull.
In April 2010 it was reported that the cruiser would join other navy units in the Indian Ocean to conduct exercises.[15] In August 2013 the cruiser visited Havana, Cuba.[16]
In late August 2013, the cruiser was deployed to the Mediterranean Sea in response to the build-up of American warships along the coast of Syria.[17] During the 2014 Crimean Crisis, Moskva was responsible for blockading the Ukrainian fleet in Donuzlav Lake.[18]
On 17 September 2014, she was deployed to the Mediterranean Sea, taking shift from guard ship Pytlivy.[10][circular reference]
In July 2015, she visited Luanda, Angola, to celebrate 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between countries.[19] From the end of September 2015, while in eastern Mediterranean, the cruiser was charged with the air defences for the Russian aviation group based near the Syrian town of Latakia that conducted the air campaign in Syria.[20] On 25 November 2015, after the 2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown, it was reported that Moskva, armed with the S-300F surface-to-air missile system,[21] would be deployed near the coastal Syria-Turkey border.[22] In 2016, she was replaced by sister ship Varyag in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.[23] On 22 July 2016 Moskva was awarded the Order of Nakhimov.[24]
Upon return from her deployment in January 2016, the ship was to undergo a refit and upgrade but due lack of funds her future remained uncertain as of July 2018.[25][26]
In June 2019, the cruiser left the port of Sevastopol in the Black Sea where she would run tests on several combat systems and the main propulsion.[27]
On 3 July 2020, Moskva completed repairs and maintenance which would allow her to remain in service until 2040.[28] The first post-repair exit to sea was scheduled for August 2020, however in reality she only began to prepare for the deployment in February 2021.[29][30] She was reported on exercises at sea in March 2021.[31]
2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine
In February 2022, the cruiser left Sevastopol for the Black Sea as part of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[32] The ship was later used against the Ukrainian armed forces during the attack on Snake Island together with the Russian patrol boat Vasily Bykov.[33] Moskva hailed the island's garrison over the radio and demanded its surrender, and was told "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" (Russian: 'Русский военный корабль, иди на хуй', tr. Russky voyenny korabl, idi na khuy). After this, all contact was lost with Snake Island, and the thirteen-member Ukrainian garrison was captured.[34][35]
On 13 April 2022, Ukrainian presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych and Odesa governor Maksym Marchenko said that Moskva had been hit by two Neptune anti-ship missiles and was on fire in rough seas. Arestovych said there were 510 crew members aboard.[2] The Russian Defense Ministry said that a fire had caused munitions to explode, the ship had been seriously damaged and the crew fully evacuated, without any reference to a Ukrainian strike.[3][36][37] OSINT analysts reported that distress signals had been transmitted from the Moskva, and that multiple assistance vessels had appeared near the last known location of the ship.[38]
