I would use Harpoon also made by GDW. You would have to tweak it a bit to represent the decayed state of Warships, but it should work. It is even recommended by the authors (who contributed to both) in the Mediterranean Cruise module.

Harpoon is hard to find and to expensive.
I'm looking more for house rules that use the T2k rules.
But thanks for the advice.

The first edition rules had "The Last Sub" trilogy using Harpoon. The second edition didn't really cross that threshold. You might start some home brew large ship rules here. But thats going to have a Helluva huge damage chart. Perhaps an adaption of Megatraveller rules, since it's gun designer Fire, Fusion & Steel could make T2K2.2 weapons.

FF&S is New Era, not Mega. It does not have rules for naval vessels; its four types of "Major Systems" are spacecraft, ground vehicles, lift vehicles, and aircraft.

There are rules for generating naval characters for T2K in Challenge 53 and sailing rules in Challenge 60.

There were also articles for naval vessels in Mega in Challenge 53, 54, and 60. They'd need to be adapted to TNE/T2K terminology and make sure the math is in line for things like power generation, but it should be feasible to create a supplement for FF&S using the Mega rules.

I some fast Googling, and outside of Harpoon, I can't find any modern naval miniature wargames. It appears those covering Age of Sail and WWII are the only really popular ones.

You can look at these rules:

Shipwreck: Modern Naval Warfare

I seem to remember finding the rules online somewhere, but you will have to look.

Use Vassal and look up Cold War Modern Naval Warfare. They have a link to the current game owners which allow you to download the rules and pieces for free.
