Default Black Sea Naval Actions

I can't find any mention, at least not in the ref. manual's v1 history, of any naval actions on the Black Sea. The closest the v1 history comes is the Greek navy's attack on the Turkey-bound supply convoy on its way to Izmir by way of the Aegean, but that's on the other side of the Bosporus.

I reckon that there must have been some fighting between the Soviet Black Sea Fleet and the Turkish navy, but I'm not aware of any mentioned in canon. Am I missing something somewhere?

The Bulgarian and Romanian navies were tiny, but there probably would have been naval skirmishes, at least, between them during the first phase of fighting in Romania (12/20/1996- late summer, 1997). I suppose it's entirely possible that the Romanian navy, such as it was, was completely destroyed at anchor by Soviet Black Sea Fleet forces, and/or the Soviet Air Force. I can see why this might not have earned a mention in canon (given the insignificance of the Romanian navy), but it doesn't seem likely that Turkey/NATO would cede freedom of navigation in the Black Sea to the Soviets. Something's not adding up.
