Sea Patrol Mission?!

What does this mission do, exactly?

I haven't seen it actually work, but what I understand is that the Naval unit you set to Sea Patrol would "intercept" any enemy unit that tried to pillage a sea resource within range (1 tile I think).

Right. In my experience, you can just put one Trireme in the middle of three seafood resources. If an enemy ship (like those pesky barbarian Galleys) moves onto one of the bordering seafood tiles, it will be forced into combat with your Trireme. The best part is that your Trireme still counts as the defending unit, and retains the 10% coastal defense bonus.

Cool, that I did not know, thanks!
