Battle Stations, Submariners!

"We have located the enemy surface fleet under the command of your arch enemy, Admiral Himmelfahrtsnase. But, we do not have visual contact! Our only course of action is to fire immediately at random into their general vicinity and listen for the impact of high explosive shells on steel hulls.

The USS Ça Va has been designated Forward Fire Control, and you have been placed in direct command of our entire surface fleet's weaponry. Select the target location by clicking in the left-hand grid above. The right hand grid shows the status of our own fleet. Information as to the remaining enemy strength will be relayed directly to your status bar.

Naval Intelligence (sic) claims the composition of the enemy fleet is identical to our own. Himmelfarhtsnase has also been forced to resort to the same tactics. In accordance with the ancient, unwritten rules of naval warfare for duels at sea, fire will be exchanged alternately, one salvo at a time, and each commander is honor bound to signal which vessels are lost immediately.

The fate of the Free World is at stake here, and the battle will not be over until one or the other of the fleets has been obliterated. Our gunners await your commands. We are all counting on you, Sir.
