Oh well, I suppose they'll have to do with the last two.
There are currently three Slava-class cruisers in service with the Russian Navy, the Moskva cruiser is the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet; Varyag cruiser is the flagship of the Pacific Fleet, the remaining cruiser, Marshal Ustinov, operated in the North Sea Fleet.
Although the fourth ship was nearing completion, production eventually halted due to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Two other Slava-class ships were planned to be built, but the plan was canceled when the Soviet Union disintegrated. Slava class warships are expected to be used for at least another decade, and they hope that more modern Lider-class warships will soon be operational. However, the ability of the Slava-class warships still give the Russian Navy more effective choices in combat.
There are also semi-dependable sources that state lives were lost on the moskva as well. I'm not even sure of the actual time of engagement.
Losing the moskva might hit pukein in the pocket book a little I think. Not to mention if sailors were lost, all the insurance and payments to families.
The ship was probably a half a billion dollars easy. Or discounted rubles.
