SITUATION
..underline
.body
An American carrier task group led by the Eisenhower has been responsible for a number of raids against key industrial sites.
The remaining naval assets we have are at least 12 hours steaming time from the carrier group and it is doubtful they will have the ability to take out the Eisenhower.
An air strike is our best chance to remove this threat from our shores.

You are to lead a flight of Tu-26 Backfires and eliminate the Eisenhower with extreme prejudice. Su-27s will provide top cover. Good luck!

Well done! The Americans will think twice about sending another carrier group so close to our shores.

Your failure has cost us dearly. Although the carrier has sustained some damage, it was not enough to force its withdrawal.
