TO LAY A MINEFIELD
1.
Check your tasking or determine the exact latitude and longitude for each mine to be placed.
2.
From the Launch Panel, load the desired tubes with mines.
3.
Determine which tube will fire the mine destined for each specific location.
4.
Select each tube individually and place a waypoint for that mine to follow.Select the waypoint
and drag it to the desired location using the lat/long readout at the bottom of the Fire Control
map.You can also enter the desired latitude and longitude in the waypoint presets.
Seawolf:
■ Click the waypoint on the Fire Control map to display the waypoint preset panel
688(I) and Akula:
■ The waypoint presets appear below the Define Target Waypoint button in the preset panel a
soon as the waypoint is placed on the map.
Sub Command Tip: Once mines are loaded and and presets are entered, you can
fire the tube from the Nav map using the Ownship or Orders Menus. Map Markers
can be placed on the Nav map indicating the mine location and a launch point
for the mine designated for that location. Using this method you can better tell
when to fire the tube. See Navigation Station/2D Map/Map Menu on p. 41.
5.
After firing the mine, reload the tube with a new mine or weapon.
DSRV RESCUES
The Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV) is designed to ‘mate’ with submarines from various
nations in emergency situations. In Sub Command, the DSRV can be assigned to all controllable
subs but only appears on a sub if the sub has been tasked to use it in the current mission. Carried
on the back of the host submarine, the DSRV is launched when within range of the submarine to
be rescued.
NOTE:
The DSRV is launched using the Spec Ops>Deploy DSRV options from the Contact menu of a
submerged submarine.These menu options are only available when Ownship has met
certain speed and depth requirements.
To Launch the DSRV:
1.
When within range of the submarine to be rescued order Ownship to 3 kts or less.
2.
Ensure that Ownship depth is greater than periscope depth.
3.
Right-click the submarine to be rescued.From the Contact menu select
Spec Ops
then
Deploy
DSRV
. (See Note above.) The DSRV detaches from Ownship and moves slowly toward the
selected submarine.Your Executive Officer (XO) informs you when the DSRV has deployed.
■ Be aware that it is possible to deploy the DSRV to rescue any submarine, not just the one in
distress. Be sure that you have identified the proper submarine to rescue.
To Recover the DSRV:
Once the DSRV has completed its assignment it leaves the area of the downed submarine and
returns to the location where it was deployed.
1.
Maneuver your sub close to the DSRV or wait at the location where it was deployed for it to
come to you.
2.
Maintain a speed of 3 kts or less and remain below periscope depth.
3.
The XO informs you when the DSRV is once again mated to your hull.
