Players command a group of modern naval vessels and are tasked with carrying out a variety of missions. These include convoy protection, anti-submarine warfare, and large-scale fleet engagements. The game features multiple scenarios inspired by Cold War tensions and fictional conflicts, each requiring careful planning and quick tactical decisions.
Gameplay takes place in real-time, with players issuing orders to individual ships via a strategic map. Units include destroyers, aircraft carriers, submarines, and support ships, each with specific roles and weapon systems. The game also incorporates aircraft reconnaissance, sonar detection, and missile engagements.
