I'm pretty sure the mod will pick up after all the outward hostilities have ceased, meaning you might put to sea under "enemy" (no clear statement to the fact was ever offered) observation by air or sea, but you wouldn't have to defend against them (you couldn't anyway, after the war almost all subsequent sub designs and upgrades removed the surface defence and attack capabilities).
That being said, the actual mod is going to need some sort of combat involvement, otherwise it will be year after year of empty patrolling, so Russian and US forces may need to be shifted around a bit to make the gameplay possible.
