"I am Commander Mekile Ivanovich, Captain of the Kilo 529.." Off mike Ivanovich turned to the command crew who were all watching silently. The control room was packed with men as few could stand remaining at there posts."Their commander wishes us to surface and rendezvous," he said. This set off a chain of whispers throughout the sub. Some sailors were grinning excitedly, some had looks of doubt but the captain was confident.

"Commander McCrea," Ivanovich said into the mike. "We will surface. Take heed that we are armed with eight SA-N-10 surface to air missiles. You may tie along side us but we will destroy any aircraft that come within our range without warning. As of now my ship is at Battlestations anti-aircraft."

An alarm klaxon sounded as Ivanovich hung up the mike and ordered his kilo to surface. The Kilo broke the surface 90 seconds later and within a minute the captain was on the bridge with his XO and lieutenant Vostov.
"where are they?" asked the XO as he scanned the empty sea with his binoculars. "they'll be here" said the captain. "they just think were not being sincere. Order the diesel engines to be started set the battery to charge." "Aye sir!"
"Set revolutions for six knots. Come to port, course 100"

A few moments later they spotted the bow of the USS Springfield breaching the surface off to starboard.
