Briefing[]
Good morning, Lieutenant Patterson, it's a pleasure to see you again. You're looking well rested - good, I'll need you in tip top shape for your new assignment. You've proven to be quite resourceful, especially your performance most recently in scuttling U-4901. All things considered, you're the ideal candidate for this mission. Let's get down to brass tacks, shall we.
The success of the Allied invasion of Normandy prompted an assassination attempt on the Führer. A cadre of high-ranking Nazi leaders planted a bomb during a meeting; unfortunately, he survived. He's used this attempt on his life to clean house and solidify his power. Whatever remaining sanity the Nazi leadership possessed has been gutted by Hitler's subsequent arrests and executions. He's appointed new leaders more in tune with his insane ideals. That man is bent on sacrificing every last German citizen rather than accept defeat. We need to stop him cold and do it now.
Reports from our allies in France suggest that there's been heavy activity in the port of Lorient, a manufacturing facility for their deadly U-Boats. It was previously run by one of the would-be assassins. Now, Hitler has one of his most trusted advisors in charge. Jimmy, we need to know what's going on at that base. We've arranged for you to be dropped on the outskirts of St. Mathieu, where our 101st Division is still encountering some resistance. Intelligence states that a German U-Boat is making an unscheduled resupply stop at the sea port there. Our only opportunity to infiltrate this fortified shipyard is by smuggling you aboard this vessel and waiting until it reaches its port.
I know it's tight quarters, Jimmy, but for you, familiar territory. We're sending you back to sea, my boy.

A New Plan
By 1940, Hitler's promise of no bombs dropped on German cities was rendered hollow by Allied heavy bombers. This drove home the reality that the Luftwaffe lagged behind the Allies in a number of areas. Field Marshal Göring needed an aircraft capable of shooting down Allied bombers before they had the chance to drop their payload on Germany, and this demand prompted the production of a revolutionary jet fighter, different from any other aircraft Germany had produced before. This endeavor was named the "3×1000 Project" - a call for a heavy fighter capable of flying 1000 km distance at 1000 km/h and with a 1000 kg payload. To achieve this, the Germans turned to a team of brothers with an astonishing new design.
Trivia[]
- A Storm in the Port and The Horten's Nest are the only missions in the game with more than three levels; having a total of four levels.
- Chronologically, the events of Medal of Honor's first three missions (Rescue the G3 Officer, Destroy the Mighty Railgun Greta, and Scuttle Das Boot U-4901) all happen between this mission and the previous mission.
- Due to an oversight, it is impossible to view this mission's "Making of" video in the gallery menu, although it is present on the disc (tested on PS2 PAL version).
