This mission is a companion to the previously-published Thuyen Lua Torpedo Boat Base strike (CV31-20):
https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3342928/
This mission is flown from the other carrier in the combined strike--the USS Forrestal (CV-59), attacking the target from the opposite direction.
Your objective is similar to the original mission: to take a functional, modern torpedo boat base and leave it burning and significantly less functional. Your assigned target: the cargo-handling facility on the northern side of the base.
You and your wingman are on the catapults. Finish preparations and launch as soon as you're ready. Join up with the strike group, hit your target and get back here. We're probably going to be doing a lot more of this.
See you back at the boat.

What will come to be known as the Vietnam War has not yet begun. However, in recent weeks, harassment by hostile torpedo boats of our intelligence-gathering ships in international waters has escalated amid increasing tensions between Washington and Hanoi. The teletype minutes ago spat out the following instruction direct from CINCPAC:
JCS HAVE DIRECTED CINCPAC TO CONDUCT ONE0TIME MAXIMUM EFFORT CVA AIR STRIKES AGAINST SWATOW PATROL CRAFT AND PT BOATS AT BASES IN NVN AND A SUPPORTING POL FACILITY. ACTION REQ NLT BY 0700 LOCAL 5 AUG.
USS Hancock (CV-14) and USS Forrestal (CV-59) will now drop everything they were previously doing in order to get combined operations under way. Assigned target: the Thuyen Lua torpedo boat base.
You and your wingman are on the bow cats. Finish preparations and launch as soon as you're ready. Hit your target and get back here. We're probably going to be doing a lot more of this.

Strike operations continue against the airbase under construction on enemy-held ROTA island. Intel believes the airfield is close to operational status.
Our strike yesterday was successful in suppressing the one known SAM site, but it was not knocked out. Iron Hand elements will be tasked with hitting that site again, in conjunction with an alpha strike against the airfield.
Bon Homme Richard (CV-31), steaming northwest of the target, is sending the alpha strike. You will lead the final element of the strike. Your job is to put craters in that runway. We're depending on you to keep the enemy on the ground.
USS Forrestal (CV59) will send flakbusters and Iron Hand elements from the southeast.
Fly smart, do damage, and try not to get yourself shot up.

USS Forrestal (CV-59)
On Yankee Station
The target for today is Haiphong Harbor.* As you are well aware, this port is the enemy's main receiving station for foreign military aid of every kind.
We spend a lot of time blowing up trucks on the Ho Chi Minh Trail--when we can find them. Here we'll have a chance to destroy the goods when they're still in big piles, all in one place. One bomb here can be worth a hundred of them later on.
Your A-4 is on waist cat 3. Your squadron--VA-106 (Gladiators)--and planes fr om VA-83 (Rampagers) are making up a 29-plane Alpha strike. Launch when commanded, join up as tail-end Charlie and go hit 'em where it hurts.

USS Hancock* (CV-19), on Yankee Station:
Operations in the vicinity of Vinh continue. The enemy have stepped up their SAM efforts significantly in recent weeks. We have identified a choke point in their logistics chain: a massive depot where they assemble and service the units. Today we're going to go blow up those missiles and the facilities that make them.
You lead the final 2-ship element of an 8-plane strike on the depot. Code name SAM CITY, it is located on the south side of the decommissioned airfield at Phu Yi (Kobuleti). Various facilities are present--chemical tanks, shop buildings, plus many missiles in every state of construction. It is a concentrated and target-rich complex.

REVISION 1 uploaded to correct certain briefing slides.
USS Forrestal (CV-59), on Yankee Station:
Vinh is one of the enemy's main industrial centers. Our target today is a factory complex specializing in munitions production.
You'll launch from waist cat 3 and join up with the strike, along with your wingman. Your loadout is 10 Mk82's. Speed Bump Ridge is your visual reference as you go feet dry. Everybody likes fireworks, and you can be sure that if you put some ordnance on a factory full of bombs, some highly satisfactory explosions will ensue.

Rev 1 uploaded to resolve reported user problem with static F-8 Crusader.
This mission is designed to allow practice of carrier launch and recovery procedures. Carrier aviation is a demanding environment, requiring constant practice and repetition to acquire and maintain the skills.
Note: the enhanced FLOLS (meatball) is an overlay that comes with purchase of the Supercarrier module. If you do not have the enhanced FLOLS, the ICLS (instrument carrier landing system) is a useful substitute. Whether you use the ball or the needles, the goal is to stay on glideslope all the way to the wires, while maintaining ON SPEED AOA and correct lineup.
The scooter is quite demanding during carrier landing ops. Anticipate that you will be required to make continual small (hopefully small) corrections and power adjustments all the way around, with the workload increasing as you get closer to the ramp. Strive for accuracy and do your best to stay ahead of the airplane. Fly Navy!
