THE MISSIONS AND BATTLES

The following conflicts are simulated in AEGIS:  Guardian of the Fleet. 
You will face the same decisions as the Naval officers who served during 
these battles.

Falkland Islands Conflict - 1982

Mission #1:  
April 25. You are the vanguard for the British Fleet as it approaches the 
Falklands. British intelligence reports that an Argentine submarine is 
patrolling the waters around South Georgia. Locate and engage the subma
rine. Eliminate the submarine if possible, or it may come back to haunt 
you later in the simulation.

Background:  At 0630 hours, a Wessex 3 helicopter from HMS Antrim found 
the Argentine submarine Santa Fe on the surface about five miles from 
Grytviken on the island of South Georgia and dropped depth charges. Later,
Lynx helicopters from HMS Brilliant and Wasp helicopters from HMS 
Endurance renewed the attack. They fired AS-12 missiles that apparently 
passed through the conning tower of the Santa Fe without exploding. The 
Santa Fe reached King Edward Harbor, near Grytviken, where it was beached,
listing and leaking oil.
