Over two years ago, the FoF evacuated the all heavy surface units Mediterranean under heavy pressure from European and African Union forces operating in the area. However, the decision has been made by the Flagship to attempt to re-enter the Med and destroy a large EU convoy crossing it. This convoy apparently carries a large amount of strategic materials which are vital to the production of next generation EU naval and air weapons with which they intend to attempt to force their way back into the Atlantic.
Warning: both the straits and the EU convoy are heavily guarded. Signals intelligence suggests one of the remaining EU aircraft carriers, is apparently present to cover her. Sub fighter threat is also confirmed.
Known Defences in the Gibraltar Strait
Since the evacuation of heavy Fleet units from the Med, the European Union/African Union combined navies have steadily fortified the area to prevent both submarine and surface units from crossing. The Mediterranean is regarded as vital by the EU/AU alliance as it offers the possibility to ship goods to heavy or bulky to efficiency ship by air or land, and a place to conduct large scale fleet exercises in preparation for attempts to retake the Atlantic.
As such the Gibraltar Strait is a formidable choke point and heavy defended. The strait is heavily mined, with both static floating and seabed devices and more modern hunter killer mines laid in profusion. Minesweeping will be vital in order for heavy units to penetrate the strait.
Covering the mine fields are a layered network of anti-ship and anti-aircraft missile batteries and artillery positions, designed to launch a consorted volley into the strait. Most of these systems are on heavily camouflaged, highly mobile launchers. Various decoy sites have also been set up to draw fire and conceal the enemies true position. In addition to these shore based defences the strait is covered both by aircraft and surface fast attack units. Moroccan and Spanish fast attack craft appear willing to brave their own mine field and to be equipped with sophisticated IFF systems to allow them to operate in these waters.
It is currently believed that at least one Royal Navy (British) Subfighter unit is operating in the Atlantic near the straits (Subtender Manchester (40%) Cardiff (20%) Edinburgh (15%) Unknown/new unit (5%) 12-16 Barracuda class Sub fighters loaded).
The Convoy
It is believed that the convoy we're after (Convoy 8161) is carrying a mixture of raw materials and parts, and contains at least 30 bulk freighters. U-761 made initial contact, and reported heavy escort, including a Super Carrier (likely the Spanish Principe de Asturias-II or Italian Roma). Contact with U-761 was lost shortly after transmission and its current status is unknown.
The convoy will likely enjoy air cover from both African and EU aircraft, although diversionary raids along the Atlantic Coast are believed to have diverted substantial numbers of enemy air units to other duties.
