OPERATION KRAKEN
Portuguese Navy
Secret and Classified
Prime Objective : Ensure Portuguese interests are protected
Secondary Objectives : Provide a steady and constant underwater patrol of the Portuguese EEZ, utilizing the Trident-class submarines.
Deployment;
Tridente-class Submarine (NRP Arpão & NRP Tridente)
Complement of 33 crewman
All systems, sensors, and electronic measures
12 × WASS Blackshark torpedo & reloads
6 x UGM-84 Harpoon
The deployment strategy involves a meticulous covert ingress from an undisclosed location, leveraging the Tridente-class submarines' advanced navigation features to evade detection. Once in Portuguese waters, the submarines, designated "Kraken-1" and "Kraken-2," will embark on separate patrol routes on the Portuguese EEZ. "Kraken-1" will cover the northern sector, while "Kraken-2" will patrol the southern sector. Utilizing the Tridente-class submarines' variable depths and speeds, the mission aims to minimize acoustic and hydrodynamic signatures, ensuring a discreet and effective presence. At time they would remain completely still with no sounds on board to avoid being detected, using their passive sonar. Communication systems will leverage Tridente-class features with secure satellite links for real-time coordination, while advanced sonar and passive acoustic sensors will provide comprehensive surveillance of surface and subsurface activities.Secondary Objectives : Provide a steady and constant underwater patrol of the Portuguese EEZ, utilizing the Trident-class submarines.

Counter-detection measures will include Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) communication systems, covert maneuvering strategies, and anomaly detection systems to identify and evade potential enemy sensors. Operation Kraken represents a sophisticated approach, combining the Tridente-class submarines' capabilities with meticulous planning and operational security to safeguard Portuguese maritime interests effectively. Success hinges on the seamless execution of covert naval maneuvers, ensuring an undetected and resilient maritime presence in the designated areas.
