Mike,  that sounds like excellent-tactics against the AI.  What
I would do in that situation is boot-up in my fav Scenedit Mode
and throw about 22 ADVCAP Prowler and 44 to 66 AIM-54
 Tomcats on an "introduced" CV.  Then I would launch about
half of these "introduced" aircraft on an AAW mission with 
two reference points closely set in the direction of the US
 CBG.  I would set mission radar and ECM "on" and sweep
everything on the US-side that is not a ship or sub  into the 
 sea, adding additiional aircraft if necessary.
  I would not allow the US CBG to get too close, otherwise a
 *Huge missle-strike from that side would wipe out your base
 and severely damage any unprotected surface units.  Next,
I would add any surviving Prowlers, with 2 Harms and ECM 
Pod(s), to your surface strike air-groups to knock out US 
air-search,  and fire-control radars, while adjusting your 
reference points as desired.
If you want a More-challenging game,  I suggest adding an
 Admiral Knutesenov (or two?) to the US  AI side.  You can
adjust that compliment of aircraft and aid the AI by tayloring
missions and loadouts,  before switching back to the non
US/AI  side.  I realize this is a highly unorthadox(!) method of
play.  Nevertheless,  Highly entertaining and explosive(!) results
are achieved with careful  (or careless*) planning.
