The MO Moryachka (Slavic: Морячка) is a Morya-class cruiser of the Zloveshchiyan Navy. Her name, Moryachka, is inspired from the city of Morya, meaning "Seamaiden". The city is also the homeport of the cruiser.
Laid down and completed in 1983 and 1988 respectively, it was later commissioned into naval service in 1989 where she would accompany the flagship carrier, the VE Vechnaya in battle groups in 1998 until the carrier broke down in 2006.
Since the breakdown of the VE Vechnaya, she assumed the role of flagship for the period of time for when the aircraft carrier is repaired, undergoing refitting and modernization to best suit its temporary role in 2008 before eventually taking on the full-time role after the Sinking of VE Vechnaya.
In 2nd of September, 2023, she was sunk by Pavulturilori aircraft as a result of the ongoing crisis of Akvatika Island, and most of the crew aboard the cruiser did not survive the attack.
