Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
During the night, a small fleet of enemy torpedo boats launched an attack on Rota, deploying several saboteurs ashore. The navy successfully sank most of the attackers, but a few damaged vessels are now retreating. Take off at first light and pursue them! Provide aggressive CAP to prevent any support from Tinian.
