You may or may not know, however I have an inkling there were general operating orders that if general warfare occurred between WP and NATO that the first orders from CINC of both Atlantic and Pacific was to immediately bottom every Delta and Typhoon they tailed as well as any Yankee's they'd sortied into theatre nuke roles. I don't know where you were in the chain of command, but the command staff always talks - so any sort of inkling on this? Or was it considered too provocative to bottom the Soviets boomer fleet?
