Mission Package 01/SSN-21

You are assigned as element of Operation Zeus.
You will get your boat ready in all aspects to get underway with 4 hour notice from being notified.
You will proceed at best speed to grid F-4 via grid D-5 and E-4.
Your mission is to locate and oppose any Surface Invasion Task Force the enemy could launch with the intention of taking over Canal Harbour.
You are to reach that area undetected and mantain a stealthy presence until enemy intentions are ascertained.
Your weapon Loadaout must be oriented to counter a surface and subsurface force but due the nature of your stealthy reconeisance mission you are required to have a certain number of UUV. No TAMS allowed for this mission because we expect any enemy Task Force being guarded by a number of Aegis or FFG units. A small number of Harpoon units could be loaded to the CO discretion althout main prefence to torpedoes would be given.
(Note. as soon as you determine your combat loadout, report it here)
You are expected to be underway for a long period with some additional taskings given after the completion of this phase thus proper weapon economy is required.
Your priority objective would be any LSD ship, any Minehunter, any AOR and any submarine on this order.
Whether possible and safe avoid combat with submarines and Air assets during thos Operation although if an enemy submarine force is detected escorting the invasion group you are allowed to engage however not forgeting that the main target of your mission is the invasion force that must be stopped and not its escort.
The SSN-751 San Juan Commanded by RADM Fish will also operate as a blocade force on the proximity of Canal and in case of operations on the same grid you will be under the tactical Command of RADM Fish during the operation on that grid together.
You are required to have comms link at least every 12 hours with HQ, to report inmediately any contact to HQ and when required by the sittuation.
Good Luck Commander!!!

I'm going to treat the first message of this thread as if it was a movement order, since I have not received any movement order from Driftwood. Don't count on me being able to do this every time... communications between the FC and an officer is not a communication to ME.

Thanks ML. Let me see if I've got this straight. When I get orders from my FC on where to go, what to do, etc. I need to reply to you and him that I'm underway, enroute, engaging the enemy, etc?

Well I'm the guy making things happen, so I kind of need to know all these things.

Rgr that. Based on the Op Order I was waiting for the "notice to proceed" to be given. Like you said in your email. This is all new to a lot of us.

INTEL UPDATE
FROM MARINERS FC-HQ
TO: SSN-21 CO
According to latest Intelligence received, the possibility of an enemy Anphibious Assault on Canal is taking shape.
Seems that the OPFOR may have have some LCAC units to help disembark any Marine Units in order to occupy Canal.
We must prevent such disembarkment although not taking unneeded risks to your vessel.
If the Enemy intentios are confirmed, Canal Harbour will be mined for P-3 units thus limiting the enemy maneurability.
If enemy Task Force remains outide harbour, you are to engage them.
Priority must be giving to any LCAC that may me moving from the LSD to the Harbour (thus loaded with a Marine Divission) You are cleared to use Harpoon or TASM to engage the LCAC although you may expect inmediate retaliation from OPFOR so you are to clear the area to a safer zone as soon as you fire your rockets.
If no LCAC, the main target must be the LSD followed by any other submarine and after this any Warship such FFG or DDG. AOR could be considered a seconday target although if possible must be engaged as well but not forgeting the priority Targets.
You are now to extend your patrol area to F-3.

Intel reports you have been counterdetected by enemy Maritime Patrol Aircraft.
You are to have a combat mission where you must survive 2 hours or transit 20 Nm in 2 hours.

Sea State 3. Rock bottom. Surface Duct.
Please state your availabilities ASAP for a combat.

This coming Sunday morning is best for me. I've already notified ML about this. Please get up with me on ICQ, email, carrier pidgeon, Western Union, ASAP. I emailed/PM'd Oneshot earlier this week for some advice/help since I've never gone up against a P3 before. Haven't heard back from him yet. I could use some advice on best tactics, Lwami 2.03 effects, etc.
