Deploy at maximum speed to the current location reported by reconnaissance aircraft. Coordination with other fleet assets is mandatory.

Establish radio contact and order the mutinous ship to surrender. If non-compliant, proceed with force.

Engage with caution to minimize damage to Soviet territorial waters and collateral risks. Primary objective remains the neutralization of hostile command.

Rules of Engagement: Use all necessary measures to ensure the success of the operation. Lethal force is authorized. Minimize casualties where possible, but do not permit the frigate to advance beyond containment parameters.

Coordination: Maintain open communication channels with fleet command and other pursuing naval units. Air support is on standby and will provide aerial reconnaissance and cover as required.

Logistics: Resupply and refueling operations to follow upon completion of the mission at Kronstadt Naval Base.

Command and Control: Fleet Headquarters will oversee this operation. Report status updates hourly or upon significant developments.

For the defense of the State and the honor of the Navy, fulfill this mission with precision and resolve.
