I think the broad gist of it is that they want a tug because they're listing to 30 degrees. But I've never been on a sinking warship so am not familiar with all of the noises and terminology.

I should explain that it purports to be a recording of the comms coming out of the Moskva as it was preparing to go on a special underwater mission.
