At the start, get both submarines moving, and have them both make a beeline for the ''Enterprise''. Raise the periscope of ''I-26'' to spot and track a destroyer to the east of ''I-25'', a Catalina, and several bombers headed out to ''I-26''. Have ''I-26'' crash-dive to crush depth to avoid these threats and head straight to the ''Enterprise''. | At the start, get both submarines moving, and have them both make a beeline for the ''Enterprise''.

Using ''I-25'', set a course for the USS ''Gilmer'' and perform the head-on attack to sink this threat quickly. With the ''Gilmer'' out of the way, you can try to surface and sink some of the enemy PT boats with your deck gun and machine gun ( | Using ''I-25'', set a course for the USS ''Gilmer'' and perform the head-on attack to sink this threat quickly. With the ''Gilmer'' out of the way, you can try to surface and sink some of the enemy PT boats with your deck gun and machine gun (The PTs may attempt to torpedo you when surfaced - be careful!) but keep an eye out on the tactical map for destroyers, or worse - planes. Crash-dive as soon as you spot them. | ||
Around this time, have ''I-26'' look around for the USS ''Denver''. If you can spot it, change course and engage the light cruiser. Ensure the cruiser's destruction with four torpedoes in her hull, but once you make the shot chances are the enemy will wise up to your presence and try to eyeball (yes, the computer can cheat and sink you with planes without using sonar) a depth charge hit - so make your first spread count. | Around this time, have ''I-26'' look around for the USS ''Denver''.
