This video covers set up of the 'North Atlantic Skirmishes' campaign in the game as well as the first turn of the first mission of the campaign.
Spruance Leader is the first foray for this venerable series into the naval realm and serves up some interesting "Cold War gone hot" gameplay. It has all the hallmarks of the Leader series with some special twists for its nautical theme.

About Spruance Leader, from BoardGameGeek:
Spruance Leader focuses on commanding and managing a US Navy Carrier Battle Group in the Cold War setting of the 80s and 90s, simulating major naval conflicts in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Carrier battle groups, comprising aircraft carriers and their escorting ships, must be protected from the devastating attacks of missiles, torpedoes, bombs, and enemy vessels. Attack submarines which threaten the carrier battle groups have to be hunted down and neutralized. Air assets must be carefully assigned to combat air patrols, long-range strategic missions and attack strikes. You will need to manage the right combination of seaborne and airborne resources under your command in order to complete the various types of missions, and lead your group to victory.
