Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

[Herman]

The 24th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Knife-Fight

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".

"At 0315 on the 14th, after receiving a prearranged extra low frequency (ELF) radio message to begin hostilities, the Oscar fired a pair of Type-65 wake-homing torpedoes at the Forrestal at a range of forty-five miles...

The Victor III evaded an attack by the John Rodger's SH-60B Seahawk LAMPS III, but was driven to the south of the American task force. Doing so put her squarely in the path of the Royal Navy SSN Talent.

This Trafalgar-class nuclear attack boat had departed the 2nd Submarine Squadron base at Devonport, near Plymouth, on the morning of 11 July to reinforce NATO submarines already in the Norwegian Sea. At 0306 on the 14th, the Talent, trailing a communications buoy, had received a coded VLF message--hostilities had commenced. Aware that the course of the Forrestal task force would shortly converge with that of the Talent, Captain Alan Maunde, not eager to risk an attack by "overanxious or jumpy American ASW types," decided to slow his passage north and allow the Americans to pass."

For best results, this scenario should be played with Nuclear Weapons enabled.
