There were USN ships that would have joined the fleet after the heavy losses early in 1997 - if you look at what was actually under construction you have at the least:
Arleigh Burke destroyers- Hopper, Ross, The Sullivans for sure - all completed after the dates for the big battles against the Soviets so they would have joined with what was left
McFaul is only possible if they speed her up - Ingalls gets nuked in Nov 1997 but Mahan, Decatur, Donald Cook and possibly Higgins are possible out of Bath before the electricity and fuel situation shut them down in late 1998, early 1999 - Mahan for sure
Amphib Warfare Ships - USS Bataan - Sept 1997 (Bonhomme Richard gets nuked along with Ingalls)
Submarines - USS Seawolf - 19 July 97 (this assumes they had the long down time in our reality)
Ballistic submarines - USS Louisiana - last of the Ohio's - commissioned Sept 6, 1997
Also possibly more Los Angeles class if they made more of them (Version 1) where the Cold War never ended - but not for V2.2
CVN - possibly USS Harry S Truman if they rushed her and got her out of Newport News before the area was nuked
not a lot of ships but a lot more capable than bringing ships in the boneyard or Reserve Fleet back into service - and added together you have the makings of a carrier battle group
