This isn’t a Star Wars topic, but I’m down to my last leg - I’m looking for an old computer game from the 90’s. It’s a flight/combat sim, based off an aircraft carrier based in the Cold War Black Sea. I don’t remember much of the “plot” besides blow things up. The one thing I do remember, was a decent choice of aircraft - the F-14, F-22, and the F-104 were available. I’ve been searching at random, and my google-fu has failed hard. I hope the combination of gamers, aero-geeks, and general sleuthiness of the Dope can help.

[Navy Strike?](http://www.mobygames.com/game/navy-strike) I never got it to work on my PC at the time, so I don’t know whether it has the aircraft available, but it’s carrier based, and the right time frame.

U.S Navy Fighters, maybe, or the expanded U.S Navy Fighters Gold. It had a plot where you defend the Ukraine and includes carrier combat. It had the F-22 and the F-14, not sure about the F-104.
