For that you need the supplement
Последняя подводная лодка*, about the last operational Victor III (K-355) roaming the northwest Pacific, performing various missions to support the collapsing Soviet Union.
Equally, by (rough) canon, there is not much left of the US, RoK, Japanese, or Chinese navies left operating in those waters either. I would say that the US military would not send a transport fleet/flotilla back without some escort, but the available escorts would be sparse (not a lot of spare fuel oil). But then so is the threat.
One could run a naval campaign starting with an escorted tanker making a run from the middle east to Korea, fueling the fleet and escorts, then making a run across the Pacific to Seattle or Bremerton or Everett - or even Portland or San Francisco.

Perhaps a lone surviving a/c carrier USS
Galactica could escort the fleet due to its nuclear power plant. Admiral Adama could lead the ragtag fleet across the Pacific, being forced to stop at various islands (planets) by various supply and repair needs and the PCs could be landing parties sent ashore. They could encounter various Russian (Cylon) or unaligned people in there efforts to reach the US (Earth), following clues and suggestions by COMPAC (the Lords of Kobol).
