Status: offline 		I cannot locate how to manually launch a decoy in Silent Service....Im not sure if it will help as I usually get destroyed rather quickly after launching nukes, but I need to try something else...(I think its the Lone Wolf Tutorial).Thanks

Specific decoys can be BOL-launched.

Every ship can be a decoy... once.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the links. Is there any decoy which is long-term deployable? Something which can be dropped out of an airplane - the 5th battle has something like that. S-3s deploy a ship radar reflector away from the battle group and those reflectors eat a couple dozen Shipwrecks.
