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.
