CV32
EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea
Sweden is taking brave steps to hold back the Russian offensive in the Baltic Sea. The odds are stacked against their success. The USAF has sent forces into the theater to help turn the tide, and the British have deployed the first of a new class of aircraft carriers formerly known as the CVF (modeled by the Saratoga). With an air wing of F/A-18E Hornets (the British JSF was cancelled in this timeline), including several new EA-18G Growler (modeled by the EA-7L), the British hope to act quickly to save the Swedes and open the door for the follow-up American flyers. Time is not on your side, as intel reports that a Russian PHIBGRU has been assembled and is already enroute. (Released September 2002).
