Rel:] Ratpack and HMS Barham missions.

[Ktl_KUrtz]

I have combined two seperate missions in this (revised) bundle the two missions follow on one from another.
The U-Boats are authentic Mediterranean boats, as are the Kaleuns and events! (HMS Ark Royal events in Ratpack mission are fiction!)
These are two hard missions; you will need all your stealth and cunning too achieve success!
Note BdUs' message's well!

Hi LemonA,
I entered the information that you wanted in the Mission Brief but it took up to much space leaving nothing about what the mission entails!
I have decided to leave the mission as it is, I will add your positional information in the Downloads section.
Thanks again for the excellent comments.
