      It's been suggested in some writings about Soviet naval strategy that
the Soviets have the command and control links in place to target naval
targets (most likely a carrier battlegroup) with land-based ICBMs, based
on naval or satellite reconnisance.  Is there any hard information available
to indicate that they either have or lack such a capability?  Have they
ever done exercises to test this capability, for example?
