only NATO "heavies" in the area is the Newport News cruiser/destroyer group
which was until recently on a NFR (Naval Fleet Reserve) training cruise.
Air assets are limited to shipborne helicopters from your escorts, and aircraft
deployed in Greenland.

Two Sverdlov cruisers, Kotlin,
Skory, SAM Kotlin and Kashin destroyers with associated tanker support.
Submarine and air threat is assessed as unknown, so expect some possible
