  The game was really quite bad about this whole thing.  I played it a long
time trying to figure out how to sink it (even went so far as to land on
the sub without arrestor-hook -- yes, it was quite insane -- and pummel
the conning tower).  After a little more work I came to the realization
that all you have to do it hit the sub with a single missle.  Then you 
return to your carrier and the game will end (no scenes of sub sinking or
anything).  It really was anticlimatic.

  On the topic of F/A-18, is Jetfighter out for the Amiga?  I've seen this
game on several other platforms and the interface looked exactly the same
as that of F/A-18.  However, Jetfighter had like 20 or so missions (compared
to F/A-18's 6).
