Yes, most of the consensus I've seen is that even if a modern ship somehow failed to intercept those missiles (which it probably wouldn't have), a modern and well-trained/motivated crew should have been able to immediately shut down the flooding and damaged caused by two comparatively small explosions, and prevented the ship from sinking. An entire ship sinking because of that level of damage is what was most mind-boggling, from what I understand. Regardless, the point of the article is less about the specifics of the Moskva, so I think it's a fair hook.
