Patton Seamount Emergency, 2020

This scenario assumes tensions between America and Russia have increased during the last few years. In part, this is because the collapse of fish populations around the world have led to increased poaching by fishermen in the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) of various nations. In the last few months, the waters south of Alaska have seen a number of unfriendly encounters between American and Russian fishing boats. The United States has closed some of its fisheries to foreign vessels and has moved a destroyer into the region to keep an eye on things. ------------------------------------------------------- One way to simulate boarding in Command is to keep two vessels within a few hundred yards of each other for a certain amount of time (during this time, one assumes the boarding takes place). You receive a message telling you if the boarding has been successfully completed. A delta template .ini file has been included in the .zip file to assist in updating the scenario to any future versions of the database. Scenario Author: Mark Gellis
