1.1 Background:

     Bitterink had decided on a way that could get him off the
     defensive and out in the fight. He would take his remaining
     surface units and try to accomplish several tasks. The fall of
     Keflavik and Bodo had to be avenged. No more Mr. Nice Guy

1.2 Orders

     As Bitterink's chief of staff you are to assemble a SAG with
     the following ships:

          4 LST Newports
          1 BB Iowa Class
          1 AOR Fleet Oiler and other combat ships as you see fit
          1 Iwo Jima Class

     This SAG will proceed to Keflavik and launch the invasion
     force.

     Compile another SAG to include:

          4 LST Newports
          1 CGN Virginia Class
          1 AOR Fleet Oiler
          1 Iwo Jima Class and other combat ships as you see fit.

     This SAG will proceed to Bodo and invade.

     Compile a Carrier Group to cover the exit from England and the
     Invasion forces. This group will proceed to enter the Gap and
     position itself to accomplish its mission.

     With your remaining ships form one or more hunter killer
     groups to deal with the soviet subs blocking the exits into
     the Gap.

1.3 Intelligence:

     There are at least three Soviet surface groups operating in
     the GAP. Intelligence estimates 12 to 15 subs are tracking
     your surface groups. Soviet aircraft strength is estimated to
     exceed 500 combat aircraft.

1.4 Mission:

     Take Keflavik and Bodo and defend your amphib ships for six
     hours. Defend your AOR's; without the ammo and fuel you cannot
     hope to be successful. Kill Soviet SAG's and aircraft.
