Operation Tempest Shield
Disclaimer: This is my first try creating a custom mission, so I some things may not work correctly yet or may be subject of change. Feedback is welcome!
In 1979, amid the global tensions of the Cold War, North Korea, emboldened by political instability in South Korea (after the assassination of President Park Chung-hee) and silent support from the Soviet Union, launches a surprise invasion into South Korea. The United States, Japan, and other regional allies rapidly mobilize. Japan, although constrained by its post-WWII constitution, commits its newly modernized Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) to protect its territorial waters, secure the Sea of Japan, and prevent North Korean naval units from threatening supply lines or conducting commando landings.
A joint U.S.-Japanese naval task group is launched to intercept and destroy North Korean naval forces.
