The US Navy SEALs National Museum mistakenly published a congratulatory message on the 250th anniversary of the American fleet, accompanying it with an image of a Russian warship. The mistake was noticed by The Wall Street Journal reporter David Brown, who wrote about it on social network X (formerly Twitter).
"This is a Russian missile cruiser," the journalist noted, attaching a screenshot of the museum's publication.
Judging by the shape of the superstructure, the location of the antennas and launchers, the ship looks like a missile cruiser of project 1164 "Atlant" (for example, "Moskva", "Marshal Ustinov" or "Varyag"). These ships are often depicted against the background of symbols associated with the fleet.
Later, Brown added that the museum was not the only one who made such a mistake. According to him, ships of the Danish, Indian and Japanese navies were also spotted in congratulatory posts from other American organizations and users.
The erroneous publication caused a wave of ironic comments online. Users noted that the "visual similarity of modern warships" does not save from the need to carefully check images, especially in official posts.
