What is the US trying to achieve in the Indian Ocean

After the sinking by the Ukrainians of their flagship of the Navy "Hetman Sagaidachny" in the port of Nikolaev, hardly anyone expected that the Russian Guards missile cruiser "Moscow" would also be in danger.

Of course, the commission appointed by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to investigate the causes of the death of the Black Sea Fleet's largest warship by displacement will sort everything out. But the continuing aura of mystery around this emergency gives rise to unnecessary unhealthy questions, guesses and assumptions.
