The USS FIREDRAKE QAE-145 is a 25 year old ammuni- tion ship home-ported in Concord, California, For many years the FIREDRAKE has been em- ployed in support of First and Seventh Fleet units of the Pacific Fleet. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to take command of the FIREDRAKE and proceed to the South China Sea where you will be called upon to transfer am- munition and receive retrograde, As always, should you fail, the Chief of Naval Operations will disavow any knowledge of your mission. In the event of an emergency, the FIRE-b DRAKE will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Art. ' 4.
