Glub.


At 12,490 tons, the Moskva is now the biggest warship*, by displacement, sunk in combat since World War Two, taking the title from the 12,242-ton Argentine cruiser ARA General Belgrano (née USS Phoenix), which was sent to Davey Jones' locker by HMS Conqueror in the Falklands dustup of '82.


Moskva may be on the bottom of the Black Sea, but she will sail forever in our hearts on a sea of memes.



*"Warship", because Atlantic Conveyor was heavier than either.
