I was wondering if board members had book or paper recommendations of what a sea campaign between NATO and the Warsaw Pact might look like? Information on the strategy and tactics of the US Navy for example. Preferably, the second Cold War during the Thatcher and Reagan years of the 1980s.
I have read Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising which I understand started out as a naval campaign devised by Tom Clancy and Larry Bond for the Harpoon war game. The Jane's Fighting Ships, Combat Fleets of the World, The Naval Institute Guide to Ships and Aircraft of the US Fleet, The Naval Institute Guide to the Soviet Navy, and Soviet Military Power still exist from this period. Are there any recommended books and papers that describe how this sea power would be used? Possible fleet tactics of the period? Published war game scenarios?
