Overview:
Petropavlovsk is the only major Russian naval base that opens directly to the Pacific. That fact, plus its proximity to Alaska, made it a prime NATO target during the Cold War. In this scenario, based upon the book The War That Never Was by Michael A. Palmer, examines the ability of a single Carrier Task Force centered on the USS Kitty Hawk to attack and neutralize this important facility. This scenario is inspired by similar scenario made by Baloogan for Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations, but includes submarine warfare. SeaPower version made by Adam @Tbonewargames Kusiak.

URGENT … URGENT … URGENT
To: Commander, CTF 77.4
Orders:
Conduct sustained airstrikes against military targets in the Petropavlovsk area. Your primary target is the fuel tanks near the port. Your secondary objective is to reach the station of operations east of Petropavlovsk. Additionally, engage military targets of opportunity at your discretion.
Enemy Intelligence:
Satellite photos indicate multiple fighters of various models operating in the area. There is also at least one regiment of Backfire bombers in the theater. Expect immediate heavy air attacks from Soviet naval aviation forces. A Soviet SSGN group has also left the port and is heading towards CTF 77.4. Extensive fixed and mobile SAM and AAA forces are deployed in the area, and there is likely a small surface ship group on patrol.
Weather:
A major storm system is present in the area, which we have used to mask our approach.
