120 sailors was all they could assemble from over 500. Probably others that are burned or otherwise hospitalized, and others who perished. I don’t buy the “no survivors” line, and the “Turkish ship rescued 50” is turning out to have no substance. I’m glad the Moskva is sunk, but I’m not going to cheer the casualties.

That said, just because there are survivors doesn’t mean they didn’t use 120 clean cut, unscathed stand-ins for show.

If the missiles in the ship’s inventory detonated even minutes after the Neptunes hit, I’d be surprised if *anyone* survived, unless any crew members had the presence of mind to jump into the sea before the undertow from the sinking of the vessel created an irresistible pull.
