Publisher's Summary
In the aftermath of the October War, Armageddon rumbled on. The cataclysm had struck, the missiles and the bombers had wrought global havoc, and the survivors, everywhere, were picking up the pieces as they dazedly looked at the brave, new post-nuclear war world around them.
The war had been fought, won, and lost in less than a day, but regionally and locally, the fighting and the settling of scores went on for years. The US Seventh Fleet wiped out what remained of the Red Navy in the North Western Pacific in the days after the war. Sporadic fighting went on in Germany for many months, civil wars broke out like brush fires in a dozen lands, and even in the heartlands of the "victors", civil order disintegrated for days, weeks, or months thereafter in some places.
In the aftermath of the October War, Armageddon rumbled on. The war had been fought, won, and lost in less than a day, but regionally and locally, the fighting and the settling of scores went on for years. It was hardly surprising that the fate of three ships of the Royal Netherlands Navy should be, if not forgotten, then allowed to slip under the ‘radar’ of the world. However, no history of the October War is complete without at least a footnote about that "lost fleet". This, insofar as anybody can know at this remove, is its story.
