Harpoon Scenario: Split Personality

UN Brief

by Larry Bond

UN Forces:
USS McInerney, FFG-8 (O.H. Peny class) with 2 SH-60B embarked
HMS Argyll, F231 (Type 23 "Duke" class) with 2 Lynx HAS.8 embarked

UN Orders: Patrol along the coast of the former Yugoslavia in your assigned zones and enforce the arms embargo. Identify all vessels heading for Split, and determine their cargo. If necessary, send a helicopter with a boarding party to board the vessel.

There have been several encounters with Yugoslav naval vessels during the past few days but nothing threatening has been noted. Standard ROEs are in effect, which state that you can not attack until hostile intent has been demonstrated (this includes locking on of fire control radars and training of guns) and you may not violate the 12 nm territorial limit unless you are in pursuit of a known or strongly suspected arms carrier.
