A lone carrier and it's two frigate escorts are sailing through the cold northern ocean when they come under attack by a significant aerial force. Using the inclement weather as cover from radar the attackers have come dangerously close and any attempt to scramble the carrier's fighters has been hampered by strong winds and rough seas. While communication has been spotty at best, a distress signal has been picked up by an allied patrol plane and a force of friendly interceptors is now speeding to the carrier's aid.

(An air combat map but not just empty space - there's a great big storm cloud in the middle. The sea is freezing cold; Any contact with the water and you die instantly - simulating hypothermic shock. This also prevents bots from locking onto a swimming enemy and flying straight into the water. There are kill zones at the very edges of the map to catch any rouge planes. Bots will sometimes crash into the water - nothing I can do, that's an AI problem.)
