October 20, 1973. South China Sea.

After a number of cases of pirate attacks on Soviet merchant and cargo ships, the KGB and the Soviet Navy begin an operation to combat pirates. Information about a Soviet merchant ship carrying valuable cargo was leaked from the USSR Ministry of Trade due to a "stupid oversight" by the KGB. But this is a trap, the merchant ship is actually a well-camouflaged light cruiser Dzerzhinsky. Alexandra Yumasheva is the captain of the ship, and you are one of the crew members.

An alternative scenario where the user is a captive pirate.
