Dive the Moskva

[TravelGas]

I wouldn't be surprised if the U.S. Navy was already in there. I think there are nukes on the vessel. That why the Russians got on it so fast. When they go in there the silt will be stirred up and the code books long gone.

Are you operating a dive boat these days or are you retired ? I would like to go out on your boat.

Sorry, no passengers anymore.

It would be interesting to know if the USS Jimmy Carter already has visited.

Probably not given the 1936
Montreux treaty where warships only registered to a black sea port may go from the Aegean into the Black Sea.

On another forum it was mentioned that the depth was 330-390ft. Forbes is saying 300ft. We won't know the depth for awhile I don't think, at least until the war is over.

Oh, or course. Forgive me. I don’t know anyone who served on any US warship who took a spin around the Black Sea. [/SNARK]

During wartime, Turkey can prevent warships from entering the Black Sea. Russia would like to bring more ships, but they are not allowed right now.

Here is the Forbes link saying 300' FSW.

The Russians Appear To Be Sending A Deep-Diving Submersible To The Wreck Of The Cruiser ‘Moskva’

The Russian navy reportedly is trying to salvage sensitive materials from the wreck of the guided-missile cruiser Moskva, which sank in the Black Sea in up to 300 feet of water after Ukrainian forces around the strategic port of Odessa hit her with two Neptune anti-ship missiles on April 13.

Anyone know the water temperature in the Black Sea ?

At the depths in question, sounds like 45 F (Black Sea - Climate)

Here's hoping the salvage ships get added to the pile on the bottom.
