Falklands: A Carrier At Risk
3 May 1982. One day after HMS Conqueror sank the Argentine cruiser General Belgrano, the Royal Navy turns its attention to an even more dangerous target: the carrier ARA Veinticinco de Mayo.
As the commander of HMS Splendid, you are tasked with hunting the carrier as it withdraws north along the Patagonian coast. Intelligence, drawn from signals intercepts and strategic surveillance, provides only fragmented clues as the task group hugs the coastline and slips in and out of territorial waters, where engagement is prohibited.
Operating in the shallow waters of the continental shelf, your nuclear attack submarine is at a disadvantage. Acoustic conditions are poor, maneuvering space is limited, and Argentine ASW forces are actively searching. To succeed, you must rely on stealth, patience, and careful positioning to stalk your prey.
Track, shadow, and if the opportunity presents itself outside territorial waters, strike before the carrier escapes to Puerto Belgrano.
