Interesting to see that the remaining Russian troops used 'small craft' to leave the island, presumably because anything big would have attracted the attention of Ukrainian ASM forces?
Several reports early on put it as a transport, but it appears it was escorting the transport helicopters in their ill fated rescue mission, fog of war I suppose.
On a side note I noticed in one of the latest US aid listings a load of boats, I did wonder if they were related to the Island as they say they can be used in close costal waters

film of them clobbering the island, they also took out a small boat used in the evacuation apparently
Pictures of what was hit and the 5 rescue boats used at the dock.
