IC:

Submarine deterrence squadrons stationed off the AIF home islands detect the US armada, and Durandal fighters and Shadow Hawk subs shadow it's advance just beyond the reach of its destroyer pickets and patrolling aircraft. The flight leader contacts the High Command:

Flight Leader: "Variable, this is Knife. The USN has come out to play."

High Command: "Knife, give it a wide berth. Engage only on my command."

Flight Leader: "Affirmative Variable. Knife out."

Back in High Command, the seated high-ranking officer in the Operations Room looks pensively at the giant screen showing hundreds of red dots moving closer and closer to AIF waters. He knows his friend Adm. Guy is with the American Fleet and about to make war on AFOH's ally the AIF. What was Guy thinking? He rises to his feet and addresses his operations officer before heading for the door.

High-ranking Officer: " The USN are clearly the aggressors in this battle. Tell Knife he is to engage and inflict maximum damage once the battle is joined. Also, ready H Force and the 10th Air Group."

Operations Officer: "Yes, Admiral."

H Force will bring its super-warship complement, 3 Guichen-class aviation battlecruisers, 9 heavy battleships (including 3 Clemenceau-class hybrids), 12 cruisers, 24 destroyers, 12 Shadow Wolf II submarines and a total of 550 aircraft, while 10AG will bring 240 Cobra II bombers and 6O Durandal fighters.

OOC: You may want to get into the action with your cruisers Khoi.
