Default Re: My chat with Jamie about missions for OHP, P-3 and MH-60

That being said I think that the missions available for the FFG and other platforms are potentially more exciting. I think people need to get out of the mindset of ASW and into a broader picture of naval missions.

FFGs, for example, today perform counter drug ops, naval surface fire support and anti-surface warfare. The helo can perform armed reconnaissance. Back in the old days they could also perform a limited anti-air warfare mission. We could make missions for MIOs, NEOs, ASW, AAW, ASuW...

Sometimes I think the lack of scenarios is because of a lack of an overarching vision of warfare at sea.

I suggest that we start to ramp up on the production of missions with the FFG, MH-60, P-3 so that we can try our best to "convert" those Sub Command fans too - who may be sitting on the fence and waiting to purchase DW.
