Mission 13 - David and Goliath Date: May 15,1944 Place: Port of Le Havre
Historic Background: The battleship Bismarck, the jewel of the Kriegsmarine, had been sunk in May 1941 during her first sortie at the north Atlantic. This ship was powerful enough to sink the battle cruiser Hood and keep the whole British Navy busy in a long, painful chase.
Objectives: Now our reports indicate that a replica of the Bismarck has been built in the port of Le Havre, and she will leave today to patrol the cost of Normandy. The French Resistance can help us to put four men there. If we can sabotage that ship, we'll put an early end to the rebirth of a legend, and facilitate future operations in the zone.
Tactical Advice:: You'll be taken to the southern dock of the port. We know that nearby there is a powerfully armed mini submarine. You must bring it close to the battleship, and launch one torpedo against the forward section of the hull. Then, you must use a light boat to get southwards to the buoy. Officer, this is a chance to make history. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you.
