Briefing:
You are captain of the "Haddock", urgently diverted from a routine patrol to ensure safe passage of the fleet carrier "WASP" approaching Palau from the northeast on its way to the Celebes Sea. It has just been learned the super-battleship "Yamato" and a heavy cruiser Mojamie will attempt engaging the "wasp" southeast of Koror. You are approaching Palau from the west and must pass through Malakal Harbor to your final way point in vicinity of where the "Pyle" is expected to run into trouble. There you must do your best to thwart Japanese plans.
You are not alone. The battleship "Mildred P. Braithwaite" and a cruiser are speeding to the rescue but may arrive too late to prevent disaster if you do not first engage the "Yamato". The "Pyle" has an escort but it's no match for a battleship. There's an allied patrol operating off the east coast to act as a diversion and this may prove helpful in dealing with the enemy destroyer you may find there.
Note that Malakal Harbor is very shallow and periscope depth is impossible once you come over the reef. Your boat will, therefore, be exposed to Japanese shore batteries. Be careful as there will be a lot of sniping and not much you can do about it. Consider crossing parts of the harbor partially submerged if things get too hot. If you average 10 knots or thereabouts you should arrive on time.
Your contribution will be rated a success if the "WASP" gets past the southeast entrance to Malakal Harbor. There is no way to associate a goal with any unit other than your submarine so judge for yourself if you have saved the "Wasp". Use the map views to determine what has become of the "Wasp" and reward yourself appropriately if it is sailing off to the south.
Very nice night visuals if you use the camera views. If you have time to look,Also note; there is a Sub Net.You will be headed South to intercept "Yamato".At The first gradient to deep water, blow ballast/flank to get over. You are still in-range of shore batt. dive ! This mission works for SH4 version 1.4+ FOTRS.,Extract SM12 Palau Gauntlet file, place it in game, Data/Single missions folder, good to go.
