On the Loose

 

 

The German Z-Plan has come to fruition. A new German carrier is loose in the North Sea reportedly with a complement of Ju87's and Bf109E's. The Graf Zeppelin(CV) is escorted by the Admiral Scheer (CA). These ships and aircraft represent a MAJOR problem for Allied Forces. If they reach the Atlantic convoy routes, Allied Operations are in severe danger.
The only Allied asset available to counter this ship is the HMS Ark Royal with a load out of Seahurricane's and TBM's. HMS Ark Royal is escorted by HMS Norfolk.

Allied Forces are directed to destroy the Graf Zeppelin and the Admiral Scheer.

Axis Forces are directed to destroy the HMS Ark Royal and HMS Norfolk then continue to the Atlantic and begin commerce raiding sorties.
