I'm not sure we should expect such an adventure, I have the feeling there will be not a lot coming for this productline. Other than that, I have no better explanation, why the carrier plot-element exists. Getting Sweden into a Cold War gone hot storyline isn't that difficult. Sweden was counting on being attacked by the Soviets, had extensive preparations and direct communications with the USA, UK and NATO for combined operations in that case. Also, the USSR probably had plans for attacks on all three major Scandinavian nations, depending on what general warplan to enact, we can be sure about that.
So, I don't see the need for any rational reason to include the carrier. If the T2K USSR is powerful enough to alone wage war against all of Central and Eastern Europe, attacking Sweden in, e. g. by rushing through it's northern half, in order to take out NATO bases in Northern Norway, endanger Atlantic sealines of communication and occupying the Kiruna mine and its railroads, is hardly out of the question.
