Haven’t seen satellite imagery of ships fleeing south.

I suspect the Russians do not know what happened. There were survivors so eventually they will know. Don’t know if warships have black boxes like airliners, but there was plenty of time to extract them. They knew the risks of towing in heavy weather so if those boxes exist, they would have gotten them.

BTW the Exocet that hit HMS Sheffield never exploded. Unused propellant started a fire and it took time to put it out. A few days later, sank, while being towed. The Falklands seas are always rough. And then there is HMS Glamorgan. Hit with an Exocet. Survived. Repaired. Sold to the Chilean Navy. Served 12 years. And then sank. While being towed.

***I saw one yesterday. They said that if it were on fire there woulda been a bunch of rescue ships nearby but instead they were all leaving the area.
