Description: NAVAL OPS: COMMANDER is set in an alternate reality where the powerful nation of Virshia has deployed an armada of "Superships" around the globe. Through Virshia's aggressive assault on the world?s oceans, nations quickly fell while others still hang in the balance. In the game, players command a lone Tactical Battle Group committed to fighting the Virshian fleet. The action takes place in two phases: Strategy and Battle. During the Strategy phase, players are briefed on the impending battle. Based on mission objectives and known threats, players can upgrade and adapt their ship using a full spectrum of integrated weapon and defense systems, propulsion hardware and aircraft. At this stage, players can also invest in new technology, develop new weapons, purchase parts, or choose from over 100 combat-ready vessels based on actual ships from the United States, Japan, Great Britain, and Germany. NAVAL OPS: COMMANDER introduces several new developments to the series. With the new TBG (Tactical Battle Group) system, players have real-time control of a primary warship and gain the option of changing the attack formation of escort ships that provide anti-aircraft, anti-ship, and assault support.
