<information>
Speed and manoeuvrability are the distinguishing features of small PT boats. These qualities can be used not only in combat but also for rescuing vessels in distress. Today you will take on such a mission. Your task is to proceed to the sector where a transport ship has signalled SOS. It is necessary to escort the transport to a rendezvous with our squadron in the area. It is likely that you will encounter the forces of enemy. Try to avoid battle. You must not lose the transport.
