It's unclear whether the relic — a piece of the "true cross" — was on board when the Moskva sank.

The Russian Orthodox Church announced in February 2020 that the relic had been delivered to the then-commander of the Black Sea fleet, Vice Admiral Igor Osipov, and was at the fleet's headquarters in readiness for delivery to the ship "shortly," the state-run Tass news agency reported at the time.

The Moskva had a chapel on board for sailors to pray in, Sergiy Khalyuta, archpriest of the Russian Orthodox Church's Sevastopol District, told Tass. He said the fragment was to be transferred at the request of its owner, an anonymous collector.

I wonder if it was designed as the "Lenin Room" when the ship was called "Slava".

[bunkerhill7]

It will float.

This is how Clive Cussler novels begin.

Peak “fog of war” bullshit from your friends at State Media Inc.

[babble-on]

Truly amazing. I assume the takeaway is supposed to be “Those Ukrainian Nazis attacked the true cross! Right before Good Friday!”

Pssst.

Elon Musk is the anti Christ - pass it on

In “Dragon” a WWII bomber went down to the bottom of the Pacific carrying warheads.

[Mr. Lucky]

Yes, sir.

This story retires the trophy.

The Moskva had a chapel on board for sailors to pray in....

I wonder how crowded that room was after the missiles hit......??

And it was guided by Aliens....................

Oh, for crying’ out loud...

Frankly, this is every bit as believable as all the other BS we’re fed, perhaps more so. There are pieces of “the true cross” floating around throughout Christendom — enough to reconstruct Noah’s Ark, as someone once joked.

Discovery and History channel shows incoming.

No....the thread about octopuses from space takes that trophy.

[JonPreston]

It’s no wonder Biden targeted it.

[JimRed]

Now, in the old Soviet Union a chapel onboard a warship would have been contrary to communist party doctrine, right?

[one guy in new jersey]

Easy now...😕

Every uninjured and capable crewman would have been engaged in aid to the injured, firefighting or damage control. Praying on the fly, not in a chapel.
