I'm a little torn! I have an end in sight (thanks Olefin!) but we're not there yet. I am struggling to explain how NATO navies can just let this thing run amok on the high seas... they're straining to provide escorts for merchantmen moving troops and equipment and have little to divert to the hunt, the big-name (and capability) units are still recovering from the Battle of the Norwegian Sea, they're reluctant to commit aircraft to the hunt, fearful that more will get shot down like the B-52s did, it's a big ocean with a lot of neutral traffic out there and the Kirov is staying away from (or maybe hiding in) the usual transit routes?
Luckily canon gives us an answer of how this all ultimately ends!

I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for 12 hours. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
