Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Some help is sent into Iceland for Lt Edwards. Who parachutes in?

Answer: Royal Marines

 Four Royal Marines land in rocky territory. Their lieutenant suffers a broken neck and is KIA. Their veteran sergeant has sprained an ankle. Edwards stays in command, now he has more grunts to impress.
2. One submarine is badly damaged during the Tomahawk missile launch against the Kola bases. Which Los Angeles class attack sub is hit?

Answer: USS Providence

 Providence has her sail wrecked by an ASW rocket, launched by a Grisha II class corvette. She makes horrible noise at anything more than about five knots. Boston and Chicago will take turns sprinting and drifting, in an effort to get Providence to safety.
3. USS Reuben James is teamed with HMS Battleaxe, a type 22 frigate, for ASW (anti-submarine warfare) duty. The Royal Navy normally names individual helicopters with names similar to their mother ships. What is Battleaxe's helicopter named?

Answer: Hatchet

 The two frigates and their assigned helicopters make a fine ASW team and help protect a westbound convoy from soviet subs.
4. USS Reuben James has a test-model Seahawk anti-sub helicopter. The primary pilot is Lieutenant Commander Jerry "The Hammer" O'Malley. He is a veteran search and rescue pilot from which war?

Answer: Vietnam

 He never served on a Royal Navy vessel. Desert Storm is in the future for this novel's setting. Korea was more than 30 years prior.
5. With the Kola bases badly damaged, Iceland can now be liberated. As this begins to unfold, Edwards and his six Marines come under attack from a Russian observation post. The allies suffer numerous casualties, mostly from what weapon?

Answer: A mortar

 Edwards and the grunts hold the high ground. They are, for the most part safe from firearms and RPGs, but the mortar takes its toll.
6. Chicago, Boston, and Providence have slowly withdrawn toward the safety of the icepack. The two healthy subs have defeated a number of Red subs, but now are up against a fast, deep diving Alfa class attack sub. Providence and Boston are sunk, and just when Chicago seems to be in a hopeless situation, a 70 knot torpedo appears, tracking the Alfa. What sub fired this "Spearfish" torpedo?

Answer: HMS Torbay

 Author Clancy had the "Spearfish" torpedo, which was still under development, appear and take out the speedy Alfa. The story was set in the '80s, the "fish" entered service in the '90s.
7. Which two WWII veteran battleships open fire on Soviet positions in Iceland? They are both the same class.

Answer: Iowa and New Jersey

 If you know the Iowa class, you got it right. Only the four Iowa class battleships were active in "Reagan's Navy". Iowa, New Jersey, Missouri, and Wisconsin were refitted and played a role in several Mid-East actions. They still had their 16" guns, but also could launch Harpoon and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

The Montana class was never launched, but would have been bigger and more heavily armed, as well as a bit slower.
8. KGB Director Kosov helps Alekseyev carry out a coup at the Kremlin. One of Alekseyev's co-conspirators, Major Sorokin, was eager to eliminate Kosov once the Politburo was captured. Why was this?

Answer: Sorokin's daughter was killed in the Maskirovka bombing ordered by Kosov.

 "For my little Svetlana, who died without a face." Sorokin shot and killed Kosov.
9. After the coup, Sergetov shares power with how many former Politburo members?

Answer: Two

 Pyotr Bromkovskiy and Filip Krylov are with Sergetov. They form a troika.
10. Lt Mike Edwards survives and plans to marry Vigdis.

Answer: True

She never left his side. It took a USMC major general's insistence to get her on the medical flight with Edwards back to the states. She had only minor injuries.
