Ram - Once per game, during the Sea Movement phase, this unit can make an immediate ASW attack when it enters a sector that contains an enemy Submarine

Lay Smoke Screen - Instead of attacking during your Surface Attack phase, this unit can make a local smoke screen. A sector containing a smoke screen blocks line of sight. A unit in a smoke screen has concealment. Remove the smoke screen at the end of the next turn.

USS Fairfax was transferred to the Royal Navy as part of the Destroyers for Bases agreement, then as HMS Richmond was given to the Soviet Navy in lieu of naval reparations from Italy. Upon arriving in August of 1944, Zhivuchiy was assigned convoy duties in the North Sea. Its new name, which means “Survivable” in Russian, quickly was proven appropriate as on several occasions it was targeted by German U-Boats only to have the torpedoes miss. The Soviets claim that Zhivuchiy rammed and sank U-387, although Western sources dispute this.
