The first wave of Cobras have taken out all the high-speed gunboats providing some protection to the submarine. What's left of them are limping their way back to base now. Unfortunately, the enemy submarine appears to have restored power and is making a run for deeper water. Her tender ship is lagging behind. Be aware that the Cobra squadron reported that not one but two small missile frigates have arrived and are providing cover until the sub can escape. We cannot let her get away!

This is a rare opportunity to deal the enemy a crippling blow to their navy. Therefore, we're scrambling ALL available assets in the region. If it can carry munitions; it's on it's way. Multiple squadrons of F-4Es, A-4Es, and F-86Fs are inbound. There is NO ETA for them to arrive as some are a good distance away and it's gonna take some time for them to arrive in the AOR.

An enemy submarine was spotted off the coast about an hour ago. It appears to have run aground while gathering intelligence during the night and has become semi-disabled. She's running on the surface at reduced speed with a supply ship attending her. Be aware that a small missile frigate was reported heading toward the submarines coordinates at high speed and may already be at that location. A screen of high-speed gunboats have taken up positions around the submarine to provide some protection until the missile frigate arrives.

This is a rare opportunity to deal the enemy a crippling blow to their navy. Therefore, we're scrambling every asset we have in the area. Two flights of F-4Es should be in the area first to attack the frigate and submarine. A flight of Cobras are inbound to do what they can with the gunboats. There is also a flight of F-86s inbound. But they are a good distance away and it's gonna take some time for them to arrive.

The PRIZE is the submarine. Go get her!

This is a Gunboat intercept mission - plain and simple. High-speed gunboats have been harassing shipping traffic in the area and possibly collecting intelligence on naval and aircraft movements. Your task is to go out and see what they are up to. If during your observations, you are fired upon? Then you are authorized to blow them out of the water.... ;-)
