I've always thought that an interesting side "scenario" for the T2K world would be something based on The Last Ship (an excellent book in my opinion, by William Brinkley). One of the last intact major US Navy vessels in the world after a general nuclear exchange, with a captain desperately trying to hold the crew (and himself) together, an XO who essentially devolves into a psychopath under the pressure, (IIRC) three mutinies (two of which were rather messily put down), and being pursued by a Soviet Boomer who is, unbeknownst to them, is just trying to join forces for survival with what they believe may be the only other people in the world. Not to mention that some 15% of the crew are women, who very often must be protected from other members of their own crew and aren't sure who amongst their crew they actually can trust.
