I have a few nits to pick
1) U.S.S. Saratoga is/was a CVA, not a CVN. Oil based engineering, not a nuclear powered vessel.
2) Florida, esp in Alas Babylon and TMP gets CREAMED. So many AFB stations for the incoming Russian warheads to vaporize, the major cities of Miami, Orlando, etc. go poof!
As in Alas Babylon, once out in the boondocks, there would be at least a few survivors. As related above, there are natural resources that could sustain a low level population. As in Alas Babylon, the majority of snowbirds would be caught in the blast, radiation, firestorms. Not too many survivors there.
Just my two cents
Mike
