Locations
While Italy served as the main location in the story, there were several other locations that were just as important.

Catania Naval Base was one of them. The base nearly fell to ashes when the SWA attacked it.

Olbia Naval Base was under siege as well by a SWA strike force. The Americans had defended it.

The SWA HQ located in Naples, Italy served as the final battleground between the SWA and the US Navy.
