Any ideas on that one?

"Admiral Armistead" wants you to take on 10 veteran escorts in shallow waters and you're letting one lonely sub-chaser kick your butt?!!! Embarrassing!
LCDR Williams, dispose of the sub-chaser and proceed with your orders. The admiral does not have time for this and he certainly does not want to hear about what you don't have. He suggests next time you're in port, you put in a requisition for a deck gun. That will be all.
