Present Tense etc.[edit]

As of September 2023 the Minsk is still a ship, whatever condition it is in, in dry dock in Sevastopol. Thus unless it is declared decomissioned or is sunk, it is best described in the present tense. Similarly, may I suggest, being part of an active war in the Black Sea, editors are generally careful and respectful in their edits on this sensitive subject.

Agree fully. Unfortunately, some editors keep adding the ship to List of shipwrecks in 2023 despite objections. — kashmīrī ^TALK 07:29, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

On the other Ropuchas damaged[edit]

"Attacks on Sevastopol During 2023, a number of different attacks were made on the Russian fleet in Sevastopol, damaging various ships including two others of the Ropucha class.[4] After the initial attacks, some of the fleet appeared[where?][according to whom?] to have been dispersed from Sevastopol, but Minsk remained in port." - this part of the article is quite controvirsile. The first of the listed ships was damaged by the same attack which destroyed Saratov in 2022 - and it was in Berdyansk harbour. The second - "Olenegorsky Gornyak" - was damaged in August 2023 near Novorossiysk. But from the article the reader could make a conclusion that both ships were damaged during attacks in Sevastopol. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.130.54.10 (talk) 13:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
