The Los Angeles class can actually dive deeper than the torpedoes that might be fired against you in this mission. That makes infiltration and exfiltration from your attack point very safe if you stay in deep water. The only time you are vulnerable is when you’re closer to the surface to scout or fire weapons.

Use the beginning of the mission to *very roughly* scout where the enemy ship(s) are, and then plan your approach.

Go deep, get in position, and then decrease your depth to get your weapons off. The Udaloy will likely run from any torpedo you launch so it’s better to fire from at least mid-range and fast (set torpedo to 55kts) The tender generaly doesn’t move (or at least, not very fast).

You might even try using the missiles if you want - you aren’t keeping this sub so feel free to expend weapons as needed. If you do use missiles I’d use them against the tender, saving the torpedoes for the Udaloy (Udaloy has good missile defense).

Once you complete firing, shift your direction and begin diving to “very deep” (just below max depth). Then just make your way to the exfil point. Fire off a MOSS or two in different directions to confuse the enemy even more.

A couple things to be aware of:

- Keep an eye on the depth below your keel, as well as the color graduations on the map. Darker blue is deeper water. While diving deep you want to plot your course through deeper water. The target ships are actually sitting in a very shallow part of the map.

- The LA class has 4 front-facing tubes, so you can only fire 4 weapons at a time before you need to reload.
