Good assessment. I note that in the released images of the ship going down none of the elevators with the air defense missiles were in the up position. This certainly supports no one important enough to engage them on the ship having noticed or being aware of the incoming missiles. Another factor is the Slava class cruisers lack automatic water tight doors and thus do not compartmentalize the internal compartments. .Their internal firefighting ability was minimal. A cumulative result was the lack of an ability to handle internal fires, explosions and incoming water. The other 2 cruisers also have these weaknesses. This isn't the first time we have been shocked by an anti ship missile. I remember also HMS Sheffield and the Exocet.
