---INCOMING COMMUNICATION---

Z1432Z26JUNE FR: CINCPACFLT TOP SECRET

You have made a good start in getting the Cheyenne to sea at such short notice. Well done.

Update:

Following the death of Chinese leader Deng there has been a coup in China. The new Chinese regime has sanctioned piracy by their illegal seizure of the US-flagged oil drillship Benthic Adventure. In addition, the Chinese have invaded the Spratly Islands in violation of international law. While the US government and allies in the United Nations formulate a response to these actions, all available PacFlt units are being deployed on a war footing.

Intel:

There have been reports that Chinese navy units have been deployed forward to positions off the continental US.

Orders:

You are to make best speed to Pearl Harbor and take on Tomahawk cruise missiles and wait for further instructions. If necessary, you are authorized to attack Chinese units in your path. In addition, you must test your communication system at Waypoint Alpha.

Waypoint Alpha -

Pass through the waypoint and proceed to Hawaii. Satellite communications will be tested - stand by for transmission.

Waypoint Bravo -

Pass through the waypoint and proceed to Charlie.

Waypoint Charlie -

Await further communications from CINCPACFLT.

Weapons:

16 Mk. 48 ADCAP Torpedoes.

I have every confidence that you and your crew will conduct yourselves in the best traditions of the US Navy.

Good luck and good hunting, Captain.

ADM. FOSTER
