The initial reporting after was that:
- Ukraine performed the initial radar detection
- Ukraine asked the US to confirm it was the Moskva (the US did)
- Ukraine attacked with their own targeting data
(Then news articles clammed up about the US confirmation, and the Pentagon put out some carefully worded statements that tried to establish distance)
Which sounds reasonable. Warships like the Moskva are strategic assets.
That lowers the bar for acceptable amount of help from the US before Russia escalates.

That sounds like a plausible sequence of moves. And the initial over-sharing of a "get US confirmation" step might serve some Ukrainian strategic goals, too...
