Fire Sale

Description
Its 1976 after the fall of Saigon the US has responded with a CIA lead coup of Cuba, this time succesfully thanks to the adoption of a highly unpopular constitution. The state of Cuba has collapsed and a new government has not yet been established. Now the remnants of the Cuban military lead by a rogue General are selling off pieces of the small Cuban Navy to small militias and cartels all along the Mexican coast to be shipped further south. These assets consist of Torpedo boats, light missile boats, and a few destroyers and frigates. There are also unconfirmed reports of a Romeo class submarine missing from the port of Havana as well as several Mi14s, and older Mig 17s. Taskforce 21, a few scrambled fighters, along with the SSN Permit have been deployed to intercept the threat. The Texas Air National Gaurd (Marine Skin) is also loaning us 5xAH-1 helicopters and 3xP-3C from Maritime Patrol for a quick strike. Lastly you have an AWAC out of Houston for radar cover. Beware of heavy civilian traffic. Do not let any of these rogue ships to the coast.

Couple of suggestions:
double check the map center. seems to be of the west coast of Africa.
using anachronistic ships by no means against the rules however the lack of named ships on both the BLUFOR and OPFOR sides degraded immersion for me personally. I also recommend replacing ships commissioned post-1976 with DDs/FFs/CGs more in the timeline of your mission. We don't have E-1B Tracers so the Hawkeye is fine, but stateside stationed reserve units would have been fielding Phantoms or even Crusaders at this time rather than Tomcats.
Just my two cents from a naval maritime historical perspective, still a fun and creative mission.
