I don't understand how the Ukrainian Navy could be blocked by a single scuttled ship. Is the port entrance really that small?
Yes, it's quite narrow and shallow. Sorry it's in Russian, but Yandex has much better imagery than Google:

The entrance to the bay has been restricted to 400m by the tide break that you can see on the map above. Also worth noting is that the length of the Ochakov which was scuttled is 173m.
