June 1997 as detailed in Boomer (Last Sub 3) page 11.

"At sea, the offensive fared even worse as coastal missile boats and the last remnants of the Soviet Northern Fleet's shore-based aviation assets used up their carefully husbanded stores of fuel and ordnance to inflict crippling losses on the NATO fleet. By the middle of June, the last major fleet-in-being in the world had been shattered."
