INSTRUCTION MANUAL
for Commodore 64®/128™, Apple II®,
IBM PC® and 100% compatible computers
INTRODUCTION
"Welcome aboard Captain! We hope you're ready to face the many battles in this
war." Do you have what it takes to fend off the lurking U-Boat Wolfpacks, diving
Zero fighters, sharp-shooting Imperial Navy cruisers, and suicidal Kamikaze
bombers? Can you safely shepherd a convoy across the stormy North Atlantic, or
land your troops on the razor-sharp coral beaches of some tiny tropical island in
the far South Pacific?
Maybe you have what it takes, maybe not. You certainly have the right tools, a
Fletcher class destroyer and crew. These vessels are ideally suited as the guard
ians of the fleet. For the most part, these ships reiy on their torpedoes and guns
for offensive armament, while their machine guns, cannons, and depth charges
are used defensively.
OBJECTIVE
The overall objective is to fulfill your selected mission without being sunk. Each
mission will emphasize certain considerations such as protecting merchant
ships, landing troops, moving supplies, etc. But if ten or more of your stations are
damaged, your destroyer is sunk and all of your efforts will have been for nothing.
You must continually repair damage to your ship to remain operational-the vari
ous controls will not work accurately until completely repaired. Main gun shells
and depth charges are resupplied only after your damage team has completed all
repairs (although torpedoes are not). Good luck with your selected mission.
We're depending on you.
(Refer to CAPTAIN'S NOTES for historical background information and to the
GLOSSARY for definitions of ship terms.)

SUBHUNTER — Use Sonar, Depth Charges, Navigation
You're to seek and destroy an enemy submarine that has been sighted in your
patrol area! Use your sonar to track the enemy submarine while maneuvering
toward it. When your ship is above the submarine, attack with depth charges!
Don't let this one get away!
SCREEN — Use Radar, Anti-Aircraft Guns, Navigation
Your task force has been positioned south of you. To the north are a large number
of enemy aircraft heading toward your carriers. You must protect them at any
cost! Your radar will give you warning of the airplanes before they are on you, so
you can ready the Anti-Aircraft guns in time to defend yourself.
SCOUT— Use Sonar, Radar, Weapons Systems
(dependent on enemy encounter)
An important convoy must cross a treacherous strait. You are to scout the
intended route for enemy patrols. You will be notified as you reach each check
point. Maintain radio silence until you return to base to make your report. Avoid
combat to keep the enemy guessing as to your intentions.
BOMBARDMENT — Use Surface Guns, Radar,
Anti-Aircraft, Navigation
The Marines are landing! You must shell key parts of the island and maneuver
close to the beach to search for flashes of enemy gun emplacements. Silence
them with your main guns, avoid the return fire, and destroy any enemy aircraft
threatening the invasion beaches. A combination of good radar operation, keen
lookouts and sharp shooting will be necessary to protect the amphibious assault.
BLOCKADE RUNNER — Use Surface Guns, Torpedoes,
Radar, Sonar, Navigation
One of our small island outposts has been surrounded by enemy forces. The
garrison requires certain critical supplies in order to hold out. You are to take your
battle seasoned crew and run the blockade! All stations must operate at full effi
ciency as you will be facing multiple threats from ships, submarines, and fighters!
CONVOY ESCORT — All Systems Used
You have been assigned to lead a slow merchant convoy to a beleaguered out
post, deep in enemy territory. Your assigned position is the LEFT front sector of
the convoy's advance, your sister ships are assigned to other areas. It is your
responsibility to run interference for those ships and to see the convoy safely to
the harbor on time-regardless of enemy action!
RESCUE — All Systems Used, Pilot Signals, Enemy Guns
A friendly pilot has been shot down in your area and made it to a small chain of
islands. You must rescue him soon (his signal beacon is rapidly getting weaker)
and get him back to base. As his position is behind enemy lines, speed and
stealth are very important. The pilot will signal SOS with a mirror when he sees
you approach, but beware-that flash might also be enemy gunfire!
