I am very suspicious the picture is a fake. As near as I can determine, the Moskva was sunk at night. The timeline is as follows:

Thursday, 0100 hrs The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed that a “fire” aboard the Cruiser had broken out after an ammunition explosion aboard the ship.
0105 hrs: Reports of an SOS signal in Morse Code was being sent by Moskva.
0114 hrs: According to radio messages from the Cruiser, a port-side list has developed and more explosions occur.
0147 hrs.: The ship has lost electrical power.
0207 hrs: A Turkish vessel responding to the SOS Turkey reports that the “Moskva” appears to be sinking and takes off 54 sailors of the Moskva’s crew.


0248 hrs: Turkish and Romanian authorities report the Cruiser has sunk.
Even if the times are GMT, not local, the ship sank at 0548 local. Picture shows full sun, ship not listing much. Further, there was a sea running that made rescue difficult. The picture shows a DFC. Doubt it is real.
