Oh I know - its not a very good book - but it does give a good reason for having the Soviet naval forces there to fight the Virginia in Satellite Down - thats how the Mexicans on the West Coast ended up getting Soviet equipment - i.e. why are a force of oil powered Soviet destroyers are all the way into the Gulf of Mexico - well that would explain it if they were delivering equipment for the Division Cuba and got into a losing gunfight in the process and the Mexicans stole the equipment to use it themselves
