Are carriers powerhouses or sitting ducks?
Can transatlantic convoys survive in a modern wartime environment?
In the cat-and-mouse game between the Russian and a US submarine, which has the advantage?

But Harpoon is more than a highly detailed simulation of modern naval tactics; it is an award winning game which provides hours of enjoyment and recreation. Its treatment of modern naval warfare is the best available short of being on the bridge yourself. For a few hours, you command a naval task force cruising the high seas and going in harm's way.
