                          IN HARMS WAY


A MEDC SCENARIO BY DON TATARELLI #761          NOVEMBER 5, 1991
=================================================================

TO:       CAPTAIN UWONAMAKIT ABOARD USS SARATOGA 
          
          CURRENT PORT:  ROME, ITALY

FROM:     CIC


Captain, I want to get my message across perfectly clear so I won't
mince words.  All hell has broken loose in the Med.  The Middle
East Arab States as well as Libya, have formed an alliance against
Israel and our other friends.  Even Turkey, has allowed enemy
forces to use some of their bases which are being supplied by the
USSR.  Incerlik is the only meaningful NATO base left in Turkey. 
Most of it's forces have been evacuated or have not been heard from
in hours.  There is a small contingent of Marine Aviators left.  We
doubt they can hold out for long.

Israel is for all intents and purposes...blockaded and under siege.

I have only one mission for you...Immediately weigh anchor, set a
course for Haifa and at your best possible speed, get your Carrier
force to Israel.  Once there for thirty minutes, I will consider
your mission a success.  Contact me then for further orders.  I
don't care if the airfield at Haifa is totally destroyed, get there
and provide air cover for whatever is left of Israel.

What you do on your way to Israel is your own business.  You are
ordered to take any and all action to safeguard your forces.  Your
only condition is that you may not attack any base on Soviet soil. 
You are to take charge of any and all NATO Forces now in the Med. 
This includes all bases and some submarines which the Navy Chief of
Staff informs me are in Med waters gathering intelligence.

"Intelligence" reports heavy air activity throughout the Med.  You
can expect the enemy to use heavy patrol and attack activity to
stop you.  There are some small surface craft and we understand
Libyan submarines are in the western part of the Med.

Good luck Captain Uwonamakit, we are counting on you.
