The Russian fleet became number 2,064 in Ukraine’s underwater cultural heritage register, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday, adding that the “famous cruiser” 80 miles from Odessa, Ukraine can now be “admired.”

The move comes a week after U.S. intelligence confirmed Ukraine sunk Russia’s fleet flagship in its biggest wartime loss of a naval ship in decades, which likely led to casualties, according to the Pentagon.
