I agree with you there James - with it possibly being in action against Netherlands and German ships as well as Soviet and marauders. From reading the canon those NATO navies would have had engagements with the Belgians and French and are still at war with them.
And considering the state of the German and Dutch navies one of the few ways they would have to hit back against both Belgium and France would be naval mines - which can be emplaced by anything the size of a small fishing boat and up which there are still a lot of afloat.
You could also see a renegade Belgian ship or ships that refused to join in the attacks on fellow NATO members either in exile in the UK or joining to fight their fellow countrymen - especially those crewed mainly by Flemish crewmembers
