Moskva was 2.65 times the size of Sheffield, and was of all-steel construction rather than Sheffield's aluminum superstructure (which doesn't hold up well to fire). Even with the fact that Moskva was hit by two missiles rather than just one (albeit Neptune has a slightly lighter warhead than Exocet), that ship absolutely should not have been lost. If the Russian Navy had competent damage control, Moskva would've safely gotten back to port for repairs.

@rcgunner7086 If a P-1000 Vulkan got set off by the Neptunes hitting it, Russia is lucky that Moskva didn't get broken in half and lost with all hands. Those are 1-ton warheads, and you have a pair of the missiles sitting right up against each other so one detonating would have a high risk of detonating the other. If it's the onboard SSMs that were the source of the fire, it's probably that their fuel caught fire without actually detonating the warheads.
