Reinforcements

Reinforcements is the ninth mission in Tom Clancy's SSN.



---INCOMING COMMUNICATION---

Z1851Z19AUGUST FR: CINCPACFLT TOP SECRET

Sources report that the Chinese airstrips have been destroyed. The loss of their base of operations means that Chinese air forces will be unable to mount an effective air offensive against Allied units in the area. Well done.

Update:

We expect an imminent deployment of additional submarine assets by the Chinese. The exact number is currently unknown but the intelligence suggests are Russian-supplied Akula II-class SSNs. This involvement by the Russians greatly escalates the gravity of the situation.

They are currently on passage toward the Spratly Islands from the Sea of Okhotsk. You are to intercept and prevent them from penetrating the TEZ and thereby posing a threat to US and Allied surface forces. USS Bremerton and HMS Trenchant have been tasked to the same mission to the far east and west of your position at Waypoint Charlie.

Intel:

Intelligence sources suggest that the crews of the incoming Akulas are not Chinese, but Russian. If this is the case, the performance of the boats will be considerably improved.

Orders:

Intercept the incoming Akula squadron and prosecute all enemy contacts.

Waypoint Alpha -

Patrol the area and proceed to Bravo. Prosecute all enemy vessels.

Waypoint Bravo -

Patrol the area and proceed to Charlie. Prosecute all enemy vessels.

Waypoint Charlie -

Patrol the area and proceed to Delta. Prosecute all enemy vessels.

Waypoint Delta -

Rendezvous with the USS McKee for resupply.

Weapons:

26 Mk. 48 ADCAP Torpedoes.

The Akula IIs will present your greatest challenge to date.

Good hunting.
