Maybe it did. But I think not. Russia is fighting a 20th century war against 21st century weapons. The world is taking notes or should be. Largest ship sunk in war since how long? (Those 20th century weapons can still reduce a city to rubble, though.) This is the ship Ukrainian soldiers told to go F*&K itself.

The US only has about 20 ships of this class, and is phasing them out, replacing them with destroyers (smaller, more numerous, cheaper and expendable). It has about 80 of those. The current naval doctrine is that cruisers are too expensive to build and operate, and yes, too vulnerable to missile attack. Yes, this is a major coup.
