WORLD WAR 3 1987: MEDITERRANEAN OUTBREAK
by Quinton Van Zyl
DATE: 2 April 1987
TIME: 08:00 Zulu
LOCATION: Eastern Mediterranean
Yesterday the Soviet Union siezed control of Iceland before NATO reinforcements could arrive. The SOSUS GIUK barrier sensor system is now lost to NATO. An airstrike against Pearl Harbour did cause some damage but the base remains fully operational. The carrier Midway was however the first major casualty of the war when she was sunk along with one of her escourts in an overwhelming SSM strike by the Soviet carrier Minsk and her battle group. NATO forces in Central Europe were driven back about twenty kilometers in total yesterday in a strategy described as "giving land for time".
This scenario depicts the Soviet Black Sea fleet breaking out into the Mediterranean. At this moment the NATO forces will have no US carriers in the area for another 48 hours. This means the new threat is to be dealt with by the French and Italian navies.
BOOM!
