Mission Background:

 

On April 13th, 1987, with ironic and terrifying connection to the world today, Islamic terrorists from Azerbaijan destroy a new oil-production facility in Nizhnevartovsk, severely crippling Soviet oil production and threatening to wreck the Soviet economy. Facing a perceived need to make crippling concessions to the West to survive the crisis, the Politburo chooses a different path: war. The Politburo decides to seize the Persian Gulf oil fields by force.

 

On June 22nd, Soviet Army and Naval Forces begin a relentless push deep into the heart of the Middle East, easily overrunning the surprised NATO defenders. 

 

With all communications lost with the Arabian Peninsula, SACEUR (Supreme Allied Commander, Europe) retasks carriers USS Kitty Hawk (CVN-63) and USS Ranger (CV-61) with the objective of performing supporting actions for a large-scale naval assault in the hopes of retaking the vital oil fields.

 

Renamed as Carrier Strike Group 11, the Kitty Hawk and Ranger depart Gibraltar to stem the Crimson tide.
