  Moskva, the first major surface combatant vessel sunk since the Falklands' war

  

  When the Russian missile cruiser Moskva sank on Thursday, allegedly hit by two anti/ship missiles (Ukrainian version), it was the largest warship lost at sea since World War II, and the first major surface combatant ship sunk since the Falklands War in 1982. Moskva was the flagship of the Russian navy in the Black Sea and was involved in the attack and capture of Ukrainian ports.
