Operation Anvil

Admiral, following your quick refit after the successful Operation Weserubung, you are to depart with the several Destroyers and breakout into the Northern Atlantic to disrupt Allied shipping in preparation for Operation Juno next month. The Gneisenau and Admiral Hipper are still in dry-dock and are unavailable to join you. Naval intelligence indicates the British Home Fleet should mostly be in port conducting refit following the operation, follow the planned route to the mission area and AVOID all detection by the enemy during your breakout attempt. We do not want to risk compromising this opportunity to strike at unprotected convoys. Additional objectives will be sent via Enigma while underway.
