Special Delivery is the fifteenth mission in Tom Clancy's SSN.



---INCOMING COMMUNICATION---

Z1324Z29AUGUST FR: CINCPACFLT TOP SECRET

Congratulations on successfully clearing the Taiwan Strait. Hopefully, you will have made your next mission safer.

Update:

Peace with China is at hand. The State Department reports that a summit between the US President, President Jiang Zemin and Premier Li Peng is imminent. Li is expected to relinquish his claim to power.

In recognition of the outstanding performance of the Cheyenne and her crew, you are being assigned the honor of personally escorting Jiang. The Cheyenne is to deliver Jiang Zemin and his advisors to Hong Kong, where he will attend a peace summit. A Chinese Alfa-class SSN, the Chung, and the USS Los Angeles will be in attendance to escort you and your precious passenger.

Intel: 

You are faced with an uncertain number of opponents. The unknown contacts reported in the area recently appear to include a Severodvinsk-class submarine code-named the Mao. How China acquired this next-generation Russian submarine is unclear but it has been credited with the destruction of the USS Portsmouth and USS Pasadena. The Mao, if encountered, must be treated with respect, for it is clearly a very capable boat.

Orders:

Deliver Jiang to Hong Kong. If unavoidable confrontation ensues, hunt the Mao and her escorts to destruction.
