Introduction
With the continuing war heading towards a stalemate,
peace
talks are now underway in Geneva.
Meanwhile the Red Banner Fleet
has deployed its flagship, the STOVL carrier Kiev, with heavy escort into the Norwegian Sea.
Soviet forces have now fallen back to within 40nm of the border in
Norway, after suffering continuous strikes by NATO carrier battle groups.
The NATO carriers themselves have also pulled back to Jan Mayen island, to
lick their wounds after murderous strikes by Soviet bombers using nuclear-tipped
AS-4 missiles. With the Kiev on the prowl, the only units available to
tackle her are a small force of UK and US nuclear submarines which now
stand in their path.
The Silent Service is now tasked to silence the pride of the Northern Fleet.
