A Sinking Feeling For Russia

[emo_snal]

   Ukraine, using Ukrainian-built neptune anti ship cruise missiles hit and sank the Ukrainian-built Russian Black Sea Fleet flagship the Moskva. This is the ship which Ukrainian defenders famously told to "fuck off" -- one could say it now has done so. Russia does not have the capability to build a replacement, nor can it bring a replacement

Not to undermine, nor under-rate the Ukrainian tactics, but when we claim it's the first warship sunk in wartime since WWII, aren't we forgetting the General Belgrano - sunk by the British in the Falklands War of the early 80s? Not as big, sure... but bigger than the frigate INS Khukri, sunk by the Pakistanis in 1971...

In the spring of 1988 the US Navy sank an Iranian destroyer during a series of clashes with Iranian naval units. A second Iranian destroyer was badly damaged but was towed to port and rebuilt over the next couple of years. Not as big as Moskva or the Belgrano, but at least worth keeping on the list.

Yeah there's been other warships but i mean specifically this is the largest warship sunk in 75 years

Oh, definitely!

Yes, the sinking of the warship was excellent news indeed. Loved your Star Wars addition - perfectly positioned indeed.
