Umberto Robina:
They're laughing at me, Tommy. At me! Umberto Robina! They're doing whatever they like!
Tommy Vercetti:
Nobody does whatever they like, Umberto, they do what you let them do.
Umberto Robina:
What?
Tommy Vercetti:
You want somebody taken care of? I can handle it, but it's gonna cost you. I know we're brothers and all, but this is business.
Umberto Robina:
Tommy. You a real man. Businessman, a gentleman. These Haitians. They have a load of product coming in off shore, really good stuff. We take it, and we finish them. You take it, and I look after you. Like my brother. Like my son.

Naval Engagement is a mission Grand Theft Auto: Vice City given to protagonist Tommy Vercetti by Cubans leader Umberto Robina from his father's café in Little Havana, Vice City.

Plot & Walkthrough[]

Brief[]

Umberto is annoyed that the Haitians forced him to escape during the beginning of the previous mission so he wants Tommy to mess up a Haitian drug deal. The Haitians are having a deal with the Streetwannabe's in a mansion in Starfish Island, so Rico and Tommy approach there in a speedboat to screw up the deal from the water.

The Mission[]

Tommy then goes to Viceport, where Rico is waiting with his Jetmax. Upon getting, Rico and Tommy get into the boat and they drive to the Mansion where the deal is going down.

Arriving, Tommy opens fire at the Haitian bodyguards on the Tropic boats, then, the Streetwannabes will turn on the Haitians. They kill the three Haitians conducting the deal and take the coke. Tommy kills all the Haitian bodyguards on the Tropics and then blow one of them up to leave Rico some space in which to drop Tommy off.

Rico the drops Tommy off, the Streetwannabe's, wielding Rugers, soon begin to attack Tommy. Tommy takes good cover and gun them down. Be careful of the few Streetwannabe's wielding Stubby Shotguns. There are two in the garden, one in the entrance, two around the sides of the house, one on the roof and two on the right side of the house and the small bridge hiding to ambush Tommy. When they're all dead, pick up the briefcases of drugs that they drop. There are two near the house and one in the alcove where the negotiations were taking place. Once Tommy collects the drugs, two surviving Haitians in a Dinghy blow up Rico's Jetmax, land, and start shooting at Tommy, but he still kills them. After that, he is alerted with a high wanted level.

Tommy kills few remaining Haitians and escapes. He returns to the café and delivers the drugs to Umberto.

The player can get to Landstalker in front of the house and escape from the law enforcement. The Landstalker isn't very good for chases and it can easily capsize if the player is unfamiliar with the car's controls. Get to a Pay 'n' Spray. Once the wanted level is gone, get to the Café Robina and deliver the drugs to Umberto. After he gets the shipment, the mission is complete.

Mission Objectives[]

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Go meet Rico. He'll drive you to the meet location.
  • KILL ALL THE HAITIANS ON THE BOATS!!
  • Collect all the briefcases filled with the drugs and cash.
  • Get the drugs and cash back to Umberto.

Reward[]

NOTE: The censored gang text will be highlighted in red.
Tommy Vercetti enters Café Robina.
Tommy: Alberto. Una cafe, señor.
An angry Umberto Robina backs Tommy against the wall.
Umberto: Poppa, don't serve this snake in the straw. You're two-faced, Tommy. You either two-faced or you're a wimp, baby boy! The Haitians, man. They're laughing at me!
Tommy: Easy, easy. What's your problem?
Umberto: They're laughing at me, Tommy. At me! Umberto Robina! They're doing whatever they like!
Tommy: Nobody does whatever they like, Umberto, they do what you let them do.
Umberto: What?!
Tommy: You want somebody taken care of? I can handle it, but it's gonna cost you. I know we're brothers and all, but this is business.
Umberto: Tommy. You're a real man. Businessman, a gentleman. These Haitians, they have a load of product coming in off shore, really good stuff. We take it, and we finish them. You take it, and I look after you. Like my brother, like my son.
Tommy: I think I prefer cash to being bounced on your knee, amigo.
Tommy goes to see Rico at a dock in Viceport, where he has a Cuban Jetmax ready.
Tommy: Hey, Rico. Nice boat, you ready?
Rico: Sí Tommy. Now you be a good shot today. My boat, she no good full of holes, okay?
Tommy and Rico go to the meeting place, where Haitians are having a deal with the Streetwannabe's at Starfish Island. Tommy starts attacking both gangs.
Haitian Member: Uh oh, pack of Cubans! We're under attack!
Once the deal is disrupted, Rico brings Tommy to shore as he goes to collect the briefcases full of drugs, while killing any Streetwannabes that get in his way. After collecting all three briefcases, a Haitian in a Dinghy throws a grenade towards Rico's boat, making it explode. Tommy escapes the Haitians, and goes back to Café Robina with cops on his tail.


Oversights[]

  • If the player has Brass Knuckles in their inventory, they will be removed when the player arrives at the drug deal.
  • The player can blow up the two Tropics in order to eliminate all the Haitians quickly with a rocket launcher. If Tommy doesn't own one, he can find one at the Hooker Inn prior to this mission.
  • If the frame limiter is disabled on the PC version of the game, a softlock may occur during the cutscene involving the deal between the Haitians and the Streetwannabe's, requiring players to restart their game.

Trivia[]

  • The song that can be heard playing in the background during the opening cutscene is "Compay Gato" by Los Super Seven. The song isn't featured on any of the in-game radio stations.
  • During the mission's opening cutscene, Umberto Robina mispronounces his last name as "Robino".
  • The objective text telling the player to kill the Haitians on the boat is censored in the "Haitian friendly" version. It refers to the Haitians as "gangsters". All dialogue referring to Haitians in the cutscene is also censored.
  • Even though Rico is seemingly killed in the explosion in this mission, he still survives and appears in the next mission.
  • When the Jetmax arrives to mansion, the Haitians don't notice it until the player open fire.
