Contest Announced by Joint Chiefs Online.
KIRKLAND, WA � June 27, 2005 -- Joint Chiefs Online naval warfare MMO is sponsoring its first annual Fourth of July �Fleet Fireworks� contest. On July 4, 2005, players will go fleet-to-fleet in a clash between U.S. naval forces and the North Korean navy for control over the Sea of Japan. Contest winners for the �red� and �blue� forces will receive navy flight jackets. Fleet Fireworks kicks off a series of bi-monthly contests that will allow players to vie for naval supremacy in hot spots such as Libya, Norway, the Persian Gulf and the Straits of Taiwan. Joint Chiefs Online is available for download and three-day free trial at www.jointchiefsonline.com. Players can participate in Fleet Fireworks using their trial account.
Fleet Fireworks will pit players against the opposing fleet in order to control key sectors in the Sea of Japan. Players, who serve at various sensor and weapon stations aboard North Korean (red) and U.S. Navy (blue) warships, choose to become radar, sonar or electronic warfare operators at the enlisted level or Tactical Action Officers (TAOs) or Captains at the commissioned officer level.
