Another naval-invasion order sends forces toward northern France. Ships return from distant stations, repair status and crew availability determine what can move, and usable hulls are concentrated in the required theatre.

The scenario makes amphibious pressure a problem of location and readiness: total fleet tonnage elsewhere does not help until ships are available in the right area.
