I could easily see some intern or convention volunteer googling "navy ships" and taking the first pretty picture he finds. I'm a former Sailor and Marine and I wouldn't have known, from that picture, that those were Soviet vessels. If anything, with F-5's in the shot (which I could have identified), I would have assumed it was a picture of US forces from the '60's or '70's.
