It’s kind of amusing to hear of the entire Black Sea fleet skedaddle out of anti-ship missile range, now that their protection from air and missile attacks is in the process of becoming a haven for marine life. Which kind of makes them somewhat less useful as naval artillery.

The old cliche is the amateur’s talk strategy and the pros logistics.
Resupply is going to be a bitch.

Um... the Moskva wasn’t a great sector defense cruiser - it wasn’t designed to do so. It was a massively overpowered missile bus that once the missiles were gone it could do a decent job of protecting itself at close to medium range. It doesn’t have the AA missile launchers to cover a flotilla.

The Neptune has a reported range of 190 miles. So way way off shore.
