I agree that the later materials were on the whole substandard (especially compared with the earlier) however I still try and work with them as much as possible. I do however make changes as the situation warrants (yes, you read it here first people! My "canon fixation" applies mainly to work meant to be shared and used by everyone).
The idea of the USN suffering badly in the Pacific is one I support strongly - as HS indicated, how else can the Pact carry out even a fraction of what they've done otherwise? How exactly this occurred obviously isn't written in any of the books, but we are guided by the statement in the history "At sea the plan fares even worse, as coastal missile boats and the remnants of Northern Fleet's shore-based naval aviation inflict crippling losses on the NATO fleet. By mid-June the last major naval fleet-in-being in the world has been shattered."
That seems to indicate the Pacific fleet (and all others) has by that time suffered heavily.
