That is an interesting observation. I had thought the ships were there to threaten an amphibious landing so as to tie down Ukrainian troops all along the coast. It appears they’ve been supplying the Russian war effort, which is possibly how the Moskva got close enough to be targeted.

Tough day for the sailors on that ship. War is hell.
