DEPLOYMENT ORDERS​

SECRET​

The fleet arrived at its designated location mentioned in the previous post, which was in the open North Atlantic Ocean. The entire fleet successfully went through the Straight of Gibraltar and reorganized itself. The National Military Command Center from the Pentagon set an encrypted follow-up message which directly stated, in no uncertain terms, that the aforementioned vessels were to continue sailing towards the Western Hemisphere. Specifically, the fleet was ordered to sail to the point of (13.674189, -54.379111) and await further orders. The NMCC directly ordered the fleet to intercept any military aircraft or vessel that did not have its origin in the New World and to question, and monitor, its position there.

As the American fleet sailed past the lone Polish Celestial-class frigate sitting at the cusp of the Strait of Gibraltar, inside the Mediterranean, they would witness well dressed Polish soldiers standing at attention giving the American ships the polish two-fingered salute, showing respect to the discipline and skill of their American counterparts. During this, the inside of the ship would be abuzz with activity as they continued to monitor the various radars and sonar screens to insure the safety of their exercise.

DEPLOYMENT ORDERS​

SECRET​

The ships leaving the Mediteranean through the Strait of Gibraltar are explained and detailed in Operation Gold Paladin. The remaining ships, and submarines, would continue patrolling the waters as previously described in the last map. The surface vessels would continue to use all passive and active means of sonar and radar to search for threats above, at, and below the surface while the submarines would continue to use all passive means of sonar to look for vessels that may pose a threat to the American vessels, or the Kingdom of Italy, or the Vatican. The movement of ships away from Italy would be submitted, securely, to the Italian Navy, but the continued patrol of ships would also be notated.​

DEPLOYMENT ORDERS​

SECRET​

A Flash-Action message from the National Military Command Center at the Pentagon informed the commanders of Operation Blue Paladin that the National Command Authority had changed the DEFCON level from 4 to 5. Half an hour later, a priority message was sent to inform the commanders of the operation that they were being stood down and that they were to return back to port. All sailors and Marines were to be given shore leave. The fleet would, of course, maintain its level of readiness as it returned back to port. All of the aircraft and equipment that were loaded on before would be unloaded and returned to their respective bases. The operation was now, for all intents and purposes, complete as there was no longer a credible threat against Canada or North America.​
