                      BLUE SIDE ONLY


1.0 HISTORY: Japan, throughout modern history has been
oil dependent. While hating anything nuclear 
(for obvious reasons),They have decided to build 
nuclear power plants, specifically the breeder type.
    Europe has allowed Japan to buy large quantities of
near weapons grade plutonium for these breeder reactors.
However the outcry by many countries has been great,
leading to the thought that these shipments may be in 
danger from international terrorism.


1.1 ORDERS: You must get the specially modified super 
tanker across the Indian Ocean, and have it on station
for hand off to new escorts on the other side. At all
costs prevent the super tanker from being sunk or
captured (even if you have to sacrifice the escorts
to do it).


1.2 INTEL: Advisory! India's government has warned Japan
that they will not allow the shipment to pass through
their waters (what their "waters" means is not 
specifically known).There is a high probability that at 
least 4 or more Indian subs are in the region and will 
try to stop you. There also may be some air attacks
(although not probable as India would prefer no one could
prove they were behind the attacks).


1.3 NOTES: This Scenario is based on the transit of the Japanese freighter AKITSUKI MARU and its specially designed escort the SHIKISHIMA (belonging to the Japanese Maritime Safety Agency) from France to Japan. Although in the actual transit only one Japanese escort was used, I have included escorts from Australia, Britain, and France as all of these countries would have a stake in the transfer, both monetarily and politically.
