I think I can help with that. You have two priorities at mission start; establishing situational awareness and understanding your mission. Situational awareness is #1 since you're being "dropped into" a situation at a given point and you really don't have any idea what's been going on over the last few hours as you would in RL. So anyways, here's one way to do it.
- Deploy TA
- Check SSP, note SSP type and layer depth
- Full sonar search for all 3 arrays on current heading (narrowband, by the way). Mark and merge if necessary.
- Change heading at least 60 degrees and repeat the sonar search. Drop ambiguous TA contacts.
- If a layer is present, change sides of the layer and repeat the previous two steps.
- Come to PD
- 360 degree periscope scan
- check ESM for contacts
- check for new comms traffic
- (optional) charge HP air/radar sweep if it won't hurt you, etc.
- Review mission tasking orders (updated?) and any intelligence
- Mark on the Nav map any patrol areas, coordinates, etc. from your tasking/intelligence messages.
- Develop a plan to carry out the mission
