Game Description: 

This map is based on the famed "Philadelphia Experiment" or "Project Rainbow" story.  The story is about a US Navy ship named the USS Eldridge and an experiment to make the ship invisible to radar.  The ship was fitted with large magnets.  The theory was to generate enough electromagnetic interference that the ship would be invisible to radar.  The experiment failed and the ship actually visibly disappearedand teleported many miles away.  This rumored experment has spawned books and movies based on the supposed actual event.  For a more detailed decription of the events visit this site:

http://www.softwareartist.com/philexp.html

Just to be clear, I do not believe the experiment ever took place.  This map is ficticious and not meant to be realistic in any way.  The ship is my vision of a WW2 ship and is not realistic in any way and certainly not historically acurate.  The Naval Yard itself is not historically correct. 

On to the good stuff....

Axis forces have learned of the experiment and dispatched troops to the Philadelphia Naval Yard in an attempt to sabotage the experiment.  An invisible ship would destroy the German U-boat advantage. The Axis must gain access to the ship and destroy the main power coupling.
