Walkthrough
Players will spawn on the north-eastern side of the map and are tasked to find and eliminate the cargo carrying destroyers while avoiding sinking ships as they cause oil spills and areas illuminated by flares (indicated by orange circles on the map). Both friendly and enemy ships that get sunk will create an oil spill with the illumination radius depending on the ship class that was sunk. The players will have to navigate through the map and get to the islands indicated with crosshair icons to find the cargo destroyers, or the coastal gun in those locations. Do note that Aircraft Carriers CAN NOT spot the destroyer or coastal gun until another ship has been within 4km of the target. Roughly after 8 minutes, the capital ship will spawn in, The capital ship will also have improved reload compared to its standard counterpart. The players are alerted of the ships spawning with an alarm ringing. The capital ship can also spawn flares above its target if the target goes dark, which can cause players to fail one of the secondary tasks if they are not careful. Once the capital ship has been destroyed and the cargo destroyers have been sunk, the operation will end regardless if other secondary tasks have been completed.
