Mission Briefing
================

"You're going to seize the largest naval base in North America and destroy one
 of GDI's Aircraft Carriers in the process.  With the Brotherhood in control of
 Hampton Roads, we can start bringing in supplies and reinforcements in bulk to
 feed our growing offensive in this Blue Zone.  The plan for this operation is
 a masterstroke.  A Commando has been smuggled into the port via cargo
 container.  Use this elite troop to take out a GDI Aircraft Carrier at its
 dock.  Once the carrier is out of the equation, we'll send in some forces to
 help you take the rest of the port.  One final note:  we also smuggled in a
 Saboteur but lost contact with him a few hours ago.  If you can find him, put
 his talents to use."

==================
Primary Objectives
==================

1)  Destroy the GDI Aircraft Carrier.

"With Langley under attack, the GDS Pathe is the sole provider of air defense
 for GDI on the eastern seaboard.  Destroying it will ensure Nod air
 superiority and enable The Brotherhood to reinforce by air."

2)  Destroy the GDI Port Authority Building.

"The Port Authority building gives GDI command over this naval port.  Destroy
 it to end GDI's control of the port."

================
Bonus Objectives
================

1)  Find the lost Saboteur.

"We have lost contact with a Saboteur that we infiltrated into the port.  All
 we know is that he was hiding in a shipping container, probably stamped with
 the GDI logo."

2)  Capture the GDI Command Post.

"Capturing the GDI Command Post will give the Brotherhood valuable
 intelligence."

Walkthrough
===========

Just like the GDI Commando in the Hampton Roads mission, the Nod Commando is
more or less invisible against infantry, especially once it reaches the highest
veterancy level.  Send her north along the path and slaughter the GDI infantry
along the way.  Keep your eyes out for the flashing yellow crates - walk over
them with the commando, and you'll get healed or gain a veterancy level.  There
are two veterancy crates between your intitial starting position and the
carrier, which will make the rest of the mission a breeze.

Continue slaughtering everything on your way to the carrier (make use of the
explosive red barrels next to the Predator and the APC - shoot them, and the
resulting explosion will destroy the vehicles).  A GDI commando will try to
stop you from reaching the carrier, but he's no match for your fully leveled
commando.  Detonate the carrier to accomplish the first objective.

Reinforcements will arrive, including four Venom aircraft {Venom Patrol Craft}.
These have the ability to see stealth units, which will come in very handy in
the immediate future.  Leave the commando to defend the fanatics, then send the
Venoms south towards the Saboteur's location.  Kill any sniper teams you see,
and detonate the barrels next to the vehicles to eliminate them.  Once
everything's clear, the Saboteur should come out and join you.

Continue sweeping the area with the Venoms and take care of any snipers you
find.  Destroy garissoned buildings while you're at it, and slaughter the
stream of infantry coming from the barracks and the GDI base.  Destroy the
barracks and power plants too, if possible, and try to take care of any missile
squads as fast as you can to keep your Venoms intact.  With a constant flow of
GDI infantry in the area, it shouldn't take long for you to level all of them
all the way up.  That will make taking out the line of Pitbulls and Predators
south of the command post very easy, but if you'd prefer, you can just send
your fanatics down there to take care of them.

Once you've wiped out the vehicles in the area, get your Saboteur into the
command post to accomplish the second bonus objective, then send the commando
into the main base and detonate the port authority building (or use your
fanatics if you'd prefer).
