Hi Dave,
With a few notable exceptions (the USS Corpus Christi obviously, the cruiser in Satellite Down - USS Virginia iirc?), published material is fairly sparse on details of specific ships, although there are a few fairly sweeping generalisations (I don't have the exact quote but possibly the most well known one is the reference to the "last major fleet" being destroyed sometime in 1997). Beyond that there's a few snippets here and there - the USS John Hancock is the flagship of the Omega fleet, the RDF sourcebook lists what's in the Gulf (at least for the US, can't recall for the others), the USS Tarawa is mentioned in the V2 aviation guide as still being afloat in 2000 (in the Baltic I think?). The Last Sub trilogy has a few more references (istr a largish US warship is quoted as going down off Cyprus), and there are probably a few others here and there, but it is hunting needles in haystacks... Cheers Dave

Besides those RS has mentioned, and those listed in the RDF Sourcebook as being in the middle east, there are no other ships anywhere in canon.
But the world's a big place. There might be one or two more in Virgina's conditon being used in a similar manner. It's extremely unlikely any would be undamaged though, or even have more than a skeleton crew and minimal ammunition.

In at least one thread, the USS Saratoga was stated as having been beached somewhere on the Flodida coast. Can anyone provide details on how she ended up in that state?
Thanks! Dave |

It's likely that is simply somebodies individual opinion - it's certainly not backed up by any of the canon material.
Chances are, if that is where you would like to place the vessel in your T2K world, it was heavily damaged by submarine or sea mines while close to the shore. Rather than have it sink to the bottom of the ocean, the captain may have chosen to beach and hope something could be salvaged. It's also possible it (and other ships in the area) were subject to nuclear attack.

Troubled Waters - John Hancock and three Forest Sherman DD
Frank Frey's Kenya module of which he has posted details here saying one CG and several destroyers and frigates Tarawa as already mentioned The RDF fleet including a Des Moines, an assault carrier and a missile Assumptions from canon 1) At least some escorts for the 6000 men who transited the Med to get to the RDF in Dec of 2000- the Med is a very dangerous place as per Med Cruise - and there is no way else they got to Saudi from Europe on a collection of old ships in six weeks any other way than thru the Med (RDF module) 2) the guys in Korea didnt get there by swimming (general timeline, US Army Vehicle Guide) 3) Alaska - there were US troops in the Aleutians and who raided into Russia over the Bering Strait - again they didnt swim so that means a USN presence of some sort (same as 2) 4) Yugoslavia - most likely at least a minor USN presence there to support ops (same as 2) |

Well, not strictly USN. USN assets under CivGov command maybe, and maybe they refer to themselves as USN but the bulk of the USN would view them as renegades. Remember, as far as US forces go the Yugoslavia AO is a CivGov show.
