About Sea Power : Naval Combat in the Missile Age

Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age drops you into a modern naval conflict where you command NATO and Warsaw Pact forces after hostilities break out in Central Europe. A pressured US Navy escort force fights off Soviet bomber and submarine attacks on a perilous mission to reinforce NATO defenders, while the Iran-Iraq conflict in the Persian Gulf threatens to escalate as both sides strike neutral merchant shipping and an outnumbered Soviet surface force challenges a massive US amphibious group bound for occupied Norway.

Brought to you by the lead designer of Cold Waters, the game hands you advanced weaponry and sensors for a high-stakes game of cat and mouse on the high seas. You might duel Boghammars in a surface fight, fend off aerial attackers armed with long-range missiles, or hunt enemy submarines using aircraft and surface ships, all while trying to hide your own forces as you detect and track theirs.

Success depends on seizing the initiative and attacking with surprise, but you must observe rules of engagement and avoid an incident that could spark escalation. After all, you can never be fully certain who that radar contact at 30,000 feet really is. Blending action, simulation and strategy, this PC title makes modern naval warfare a matter of nerve and judgment as much as firepower.
