The 60-hours following the kick-off of Operation: Northern Moves was a global whirlwind of activity. Thouroughly out-matched, the Baltic forces of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Poland and the Baltic States were destroyed piecemeal by the naval and air forces of Russia's Northern and Baltic fleets ...
In response the US ordered the Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group (CSG) into the region to force the issue. Within hours of changing course northward, a hail of submarine launched anti-ship missiles were vectoring toward the US Navy ships ... More than half the embarked carrier airwing was decimated on the flight deck and hangar bay by missile detonations and the resulting fires ... Still able to maintain a speed of twelve-knots, the ship began limping to Rota, Spain.
With the sweet taste of victory upon its lips, the Russian naval forces quickly moved to take advantage of the situation in the north.
