Detect, localize, track and attack a transiting AKULA class submarine.

An intel satellite has photographed an Akula class submarine leaving the Russian naval base at Petropavlosk on the Kamchatka peninsula. The Akula has likely been assigned one of two missions:

1. Enter the Sea of Japan and engage a U.S. Carrier Strike Group conducting operations against North Korea, or

2. Proceed east of Japan and interdict a U.S. Expeditionary Strike Group headed for Korean waters.

The Akula was sighted leaving Petropavlosk yesterday morning. A contact was deteced by SOSUS Trip Wire “Charlie” and classified as an Akula class submarine yesterday evening at 2000 hours. Intelligence estimates are that the Akula will next cross SOSUS Trip Wire “Delta” or “Tango” depending on its destination.

Standby for the next SOSUS detection report, then prosecute the Akula submarine. Attack and destroy it. There is a possibility that there are two Akula class submarines heading south.
