Interesting pic - because the Velikiy Ustyug (651) as shown in that pic is indeed being touted at the vessel in the pic I posted (and I believe it to be so, because other ships of the type either [a] have names that do not fit the blanked out characters in my (or Twitter post) pics, or [b] the ship's number does not occupy the blanked out space in same (most other ships, the number appears further aft), or [c] both.
Pic for comparison:
651 has often been photographed without a masthead radar, even when in good order. Note the number is further aft on the stbd side of the hull.
