Choke Point

Choke Point is the thirteenth mission in Tom Clancy's SSN.



---INCOMING COMMUNICATION---

Z2344Z23AUGUST FR: CINCPACFLT TOP SECRET

Thanks to your efforts, the Taiwan Strait is clear for the President Jiang's eventual transportation to the mainland.

Update:

Chinese intelligence has been alerted to the presence of Jiang in Taiwan.

In an intimidatory measure, the Chinese have deployed a newly-acquired Typhoon-class SSBN into the waters to the northwest of Taiwan. While the Chinese are unlikely to fire nuclear ballistic weapons against Taiwan, the Cheyenne is to hunt the Typhoon before news of this deployment becomes common knowledge.

Intel:

The Typhoon has a crack crew trained by the Russians who built her. Expect the SSBN to be escorted by at least two Akulas.

Aside, Intel reports the Typhoon is not responsible for the mysterious contacts reported in the region over the past week. That particular submarine will remain a mystery for now, as the Typhoon deserves your full attention in the short term.

Orders:

Hunt and destroy the Chinese Typhoon.

Waypoint Alpha -

Patrol the area and proceed to Bravo.

Waypoint Bravo -

Patrol the area and proceed to Charlie. If found, destroy the Typhoon.

Waypoint Charlie - 

Patrol the area. If found, destroy the Typhoon.

Weapons:

26 Mk. 48 ADCAP Torpedoes.

This is an exceedingly delicate operation. That Typhoon must be destroyed before word leaks out. Good hunting.
