Screen the USS Chosin while on-station conducting TBMD ops.

Whle tensions mount along the North/South Korean border at the 38th parallel, satellites have discovered the North Koreans positioning ballistic missile launchers in the area off Kimch'ack. From this position, the ballistic missiles are a direct threat to Japan and Allied staging areas should reinforcement of Korea become necessary.

An Aegis cruiser, the USS Chosin (CG-65), has been positioned off of Kimch’ack conducting TBMD operations – Theater Ballistic Missile Defense. The ballistic missiles have a higher probability of destruction if they are engaged during their boost phase. However, this requires that the cruiser be stationed relatively close to the launch point.

Your mission is to help provide ASW and ASUW protection to the cruiser. The naval facilities at Kimch’ack support a large number of Korean midget submarines and missile patrol boats. You must destroy all NK units. The cruiser’s surface search radar is OOC – out-of-commission. She is unable to leave station because of the importance of the TBMD mission.
