---INCOMING COMMUNICATION---

Z1153Z5AUGUST FR: CINCPACFLT TOP SECRET

Your conduct of the last mission was impressive. Good work. The Independence battle group has been tasked to undertake a vigorous clearance of Chinese naval forces in the area. Your main contribution to this effort will be to deploy your Tomahawks against an enemy submarine base.

Update:

The Chinese naval command is attempting to resist recent US and Allied movements into the Spratly Islands region. They are deploying a large number of submarine and surface combatants to attack incoming US and Allied forces as PacFlt moves north to engage enemy positions in and around the Spratlys.

Intel:

Reports indicate a large number of Chinese submarines in the area are being serviced and supplied at a temporary submarine base near Cuarteron Reef. Destruction of this base would significantly hinder the Chinese effort to interfere with US and Allied operations.

Orders:

Proceed to a position approximately 300 miles south of the Chinese Cuarteron Reef submarine base to launch 12 Tomahawk missiles. In-flight guidance will be provided by Seahawk aircraft. All enemy units encountered on route to the launch zone are to be sunk or disabled.

Waypoint Alpha-

Patrol the area and proceed to Bravo.

Waypoint Bravo-

Patrol the area and proceed to Charlie.

Waypoint Charlie- 

Launch missiles within the launch zone and proceed to Delta.

Waypoint Delta-

Rendezvous with the USS Independence and await further instructions.

Weapons:

26 Mk. 48 ADCAP Torpedoes. 12 BGM-109 Tomahawk Missiles.

Destroy all enemy submarines you encounter, Captain. But do not allow yourself to get distracted from completing your primary objective.
