Especially considering no Russian sub has ever tracked an Ohio at all - yet supposedly they are all gone, along with the Permits, Sturgeons and every Los Angeles but one? Just not going to happen.

Outside of the RDF Module there is nothing much about air or naval forces in the rest of the world, other than the US Navy having one nuclear submarine left and one destroyer leading the task force back to America in Going Home. Maybe the writers hadn't any real up-to-date data about air and naval force when T2K went to press in the pre-internet days, and a sweeping statement about the destruction of the US Navy and everyone elses navy solved that problem.
