================

Captain,

Today, the capitalist forces have launched an invasion attempt on Cuba. Under the guise of “liberation,” their true aim is to crush the revolution that stands as a symbol of resistance in the Caribbean.

The enemy fleet is moving swiftly, with several landing ships in their formation, each loaded with invasion forces and weaponry. Your task is to disrupt and destroy their landing capability—sink their landing ships before they reach Cuban shores.

The enemy fleet consists of amphibious landing ships, cruisers, destroyers and frigates, all supporting the invasion. Our forces have set up defensive positions along the coast, and Cuban troops are prepared to hold back any ground advance. But these preparations depend on you intercepting and neutralizing their amphibious force.

Primary Objective:

– Intercept and sink the enemy landing ships before they reach Cuba. Without their ground forces, the invasion will be crippled.

Secondary Objectives:

– Damage or disable additional high-value assets in the enemy fleet (such as aircraft carriers or cruisers), if possible, to diminish their air and fire support.

Intelligence Report:

– Enemy Composition: Multiple landing ships accompanied by frigates, destroyers and cruisers.

– Weather Conditions: Clear skies with moderate seas. Visibility is excellent, favoring early detection.

Operational Considerations:

– Avoid Detection: Use available cover and thermal layers to mask your approach. Striking from a position of surprise is crucial.

– Prioritize Landing Ships: The enemy’s air and surface escorts are a distraction from your main goal. Focus your resources on destroying the landing ships.

– Defensive Measures: Be prepared to counter aircraft threats with anti-air defenses. Enemy aircraft will attempt to intercept you once your position is known.

Rules of Engagement:

– Engage hostile ships on sight. Prioritize any vessel identified as a landing ship. Use any available weapons to destroy these targets.

– Avoid unnecessary engagement with escorting vessels if they do not interfere with the objective. Your mission depends on speed and focus.

Cuba’s defenders depend on you, Captain. Every landing ship you destroy is one less threat to the island. Make every strike count and return only when the enemy is crippled.

For Cuba, and for the revolution—good hunting.
