CONTEXT

The National Security Council and the Joint Chiefs of Staff informed the President of increasing global tensions, including possible border skirmishes between Thailand and Burma. President Gore decided that it was in the direct interest of the United States to prevent (or stop) an armed conflict between Thailand and Burma. The President ordered the deployment of significant Navy and Marine Corps assets beginning with Carrier Strike Group One and Submarine Squadron 3. All of the aircraft from Carrier Air Wing Three were properly loaded aboard the USS Nimitz as the carrier and the other ships were prepared to set sail into the Pacific Ocean. Measures were taken to ensure that the fleet was well-prepared for this deployment with the appropriate amount of food, water, ammunition, weapons, and all other necessities needed for the mission to be a success.​

TOP SECRET

PACIFIC THEATER


Carrier Strike Group One deployed at two in the morning from San Diego. The frigates deployed first, followed by the destroyers, the cruisers, the support ships, the oilers, and finally the carrier. CSG-4 would take the following formation once the spearhead of the strike group's formation (the USS John S. McCain was 200 miles from shore of San Diego (the distances shown are the actual distances). The strike group maintained this formation and utilized all active and passive means of sonar and radar (excluding the towed sonars aboard the frigates) to search for threats below, at, and above the waves. Throughout the beginning of the deployment, the Coast Guard and the Navy would work together to ensure that civilian and military maritime traffic alike avoided the area so that the Navy ships would not have to worry about collisions or interference of any kind. While these vessels are at sea, they would use all available U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and NOAA navigational charts to ensure that they do not run aground or into other obstacles below the surface.

Once the carrier left American territorial waters, the captain of the carrier ordered the deployment of x4 F/A-18F Super Hornets which would continuously remain in the air. Throughout this first portion of the deployment, there would always be at least four F/A-18E Super Hornets flying in formations of two (each armed with x12 AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles). They would be patrolling dozens of miles out around the fleet. The aircraft would land back on the carrier when necessary, in order to avoid running too low on fuel. Also, there would always be at least one E-2D Hawkeye in the skies flying around the fleet, monitoring the skies using its powerful radars and equipment to look for threats. The Super Hornets would fly at varying altitudes, but mostly around their cruising altitude, while the E-2D would be flying around its cruising altitude so that its radars were most effective to monitor the skies over the strike group. All of this information and data would be securely fed back to the carrier so that it can be shared with the rest of the fleet, if necessary. Finally, the aircraft would rotate pilots and aircraft in order to prevent exhaustion of pilots and too much stress on the aircraft. The entire fleet would travel at 16 knots while out at sea (unless an emergency situation occurred). All of the vessels would be using their active and passive radar and sonar to constantly be searching for other vessels and submarines on the surface and below the waves, as well as aircraft in the skies. Once CSG Four was in the open Pacific Ocean, it would continue directly towards Guam. None of the vessels or aircraft would enter the territorial waters of any other country, other than the United Kingdom.

Submarine Squadron 3 departed from Naval Submarine Base Bangor at approximately three in the morning the same day as CSG-4. The submarines would take, roughly, this formation and sail approximately 17 miles apart from each other on their way to Guam. The submarines would depart, one by one, through Hood Canal with assistance from the Coast Guard and the Navy to ensure that no civilian traffic would interfere with the deployment. While in Hood Canal, the submarines would easily be able to submerge 100 feet below sea level and enter Admiralty Inlet of the Puget Sound where they would operate in the deepest part of the channel towards the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the Salish Sea. From there, the submarines continued out into the open Pacific Ocean. Once the submarines passed the underwater Barkley Canyon and the obstacles beyond it that would impede them, the submarines would dive to 1,000 feet below sea level. The submarines would continue on to their destination of Guam where they would, at some point, raise to a higher depth. Throughout this journey, the submarines would not enter the territorial waters of any other country, other than that of the United Kingdom. Also, the submarines would use all navigational charts available to the Navy, Coast Guard, and NOAA in order to avoid underwater collisions. Finally, the submarines would continuously use all passive means of sonar to detect threats under the waves and at the surface.

Secret unless contextual possible.

While the specifics of the American Operation Cryptic King remained shrouded in secrecy, it had been established that the United States Carrier Strike Group (CSG) required an extensive array of supplies for their operation. This necessity encompassed not only basic sustenance and fuel but also specialized equipment and materials essential for prolonged deployment. Given the lack of evidence pointing to any American bases equipped to store such a vast quantity of resources for months at a time, it was a logical deduction that significant logistical preparations were underway. This would likely involve the transportation of numerous supply vessels to the CSG's primary base, a process too substantial to escape public notice. Furthermore, the absence of heightened activity or personnel mobilization at these bases suggested that these preparations were still in their initial stages. Thus, the impending naval movement, critical to the operation's commencement, would realistically be within the purview of international observers and potentially the media.

Despite any dismissive claims by the American Naval Authority or efforts to curtail public discourse, the land of the free had historically lived up to its name. For centuries, the general American population had a tradition of keenly observing and disseminating information about naval movements. It was a well-known adage that for any vessel to sail the seas, its departure must stem from its home base or 'tree'. Even though American vessels might have already been at sea, there were no clear indications of their prior deployment from their home ports. Therefore, the substantial mobilization of the venerable USA Navy was not lost on the local population. This movement, characterized by the scale and coordination typical of the US Navy, became a topic of discussion and observation among coastal communities and maritime enthusiasts, further underscoring the deeply ingrained public interest in naval affairs, including from many Thai people in the USA.

The US Navy, executing a strategic initiative to mask their maritime maneuvers, inadvertently escalated operational costs, thus sparking debates over the ethical implications of resource allocation. Their objective, while clear in intent, faced practical challenges due to the operation's extensive scale, making absolute concealment a daunting task. The need for coordinated communication between the naval fleet and civilian maritime vessels, essential for the seamless execution of their plan, added layers of complexity to their clandestine efforts.

In the context of the operation's vast geographical scope, spanning key international waters and strategic chokepoints, the probability of eluding global attention dwindled significantly. The Navy's movements, despite advanced technology and tactical discretion, were potentially observable by commercial satellites, international monitoring systems, and local maritime observers, further complicating their mission to operate under the radar.

As they navigated through heavily trafficked international waters, the presence of numerous commercial vessels and keen-eyed international observers along the route they had chosen made complete concealment impractical. Despite their goal to ensure no disturbance or alarm, the strategic and frequented nature of their chosen path inevitably led to increased visibility. Thus, it became an unspoken understanding, rather than a secretive or false claim, that the naval movement by the USA would eventually become common knowledge among global maritime communities.

TOP SECRET

PACIFIC THEATER


It has been specifically mentioned where Carrier Strike Group Four (Naval Air Station North Island, California) and Submarine Squadron 3 (Naval Submarine Base Bangor, Washington). Naval Air Station North Island is one of the largest navy bases for surface warfare operated by the United States, and one of the largest in the world. It is capable of accommodating four docked aircraft carriers at once, plus numerous more surface vessels. The base has the infrastructure available to be more than capable of storing any needed equipment, supplies, fuel, and replenishment goods for four supercarriers, not just one carrier strike group. With that being said, there would not be any kind of logistical nightmare in getting the needed supplies (mostly fuel, food, and munitions) for the fleet, and there would not be any kind of large undertaking to take supplies to Naval Air Station North Island, or Naval Submarine Base Bangor, that would create any kind of international (or local) media coverage.

Furthermore, Navy and Coast Guard deployments have historically been secretive in the United States since at least World War 1. It is against the law to disclose when and where a U.S. Navy ship, or group of ships, will be departing. This does not necessarily mean that the fleet would be able to leave port without anyone outside of the military noticing, but because Thailand nor any other state actor has even attempted to monitor American naval deployments or movements (and also because the strike group left at two in the morning as previously stated), it would not be reported on the morning news in San Diego until 10:00 AM that morning that the carrier was no longer in place. This was a minor news story that would not even make national news, as the United States regularly deployed carrier strike groups for global patrols. Once a local news affiliate in San Diego reported on the deployment of the USS Nimitz (without mention of other ships leaving the harbor), it would likely go unnoticed to the other governments of the world, including the Thai government, as their intelligence agencies were not actively monitoring American television news for ship deployments. If they somehow did find out about the deployment, it likely wouldn't be until around noon San Diego time, which would be a full ten hours after the deployment began. Reasons for the deployment would, of course, be classified, along with the destination.

The deployment of Carrier Strike Group Four, and SUBRON 3, did not "[become] a topic of discussion and observation among coastal communities and maritime enthusiasts, further underscoring the deeply ingrained public interest in naval affairs, including from many Thai people in the USA." For one thing, as stated before, American naval deployments were normal and not noteworthy. Also, again, this deployment occurred at two in the morning. Finally, while there were people of Thai descent in the United States, there were little to no Thai citizens in the United States at the time of the deployment. Relations between Thailand and the United States had been strained ever since the American Embassy bombing in Bangkok; the State Department had a six-month delay for Thai citizens who wished to receive a travel visa to enter the United States, and there was a strict "Do Not Travel" order for American citizens to Thailand. Moreover, civilians cannot be used cannot be used for military operations, such as gathering intelligence (or delineating it).

Finally, none of the following happened:​
"The US Navy, executing a strategic initiative to mask their maritime maneuvers, inadvertently escalated operational costs, thus sparking debates over the ethical implications of resource allocation. Their objective, while clear in intent, faced practical challenges due to the operation's extensive scale, making absolute concealment a daunting task. The need for coordinated communication between the naval fleet and civilian maritime vessels, essential for the seamless execution of their plan, added layers of complexity to their clandestine efforts.

In the context of the operation's vast geographical scope, spanning key international waters and strategic chokepoints, the probability of eluding global attention dwindled significantly. The Navy's movements, despite advanced technology and tactical discretion, were potentially observable by commercial satellites, international monitoring systems, and local maritime observers, further complicating their mission to operate under the radar.

As they navigated through heavily trafficked international waters, the presence of numerous commercial vessels and keen-eyed international observers along the route they had chosen made complete concealment impractical. Despite their goal to ensure no disturbance or alarm, the strategic and frequented nature of their chosen path inevitably led to increased visibility. Thus, it became an unspoken understanding, rather than a secretive or false claim, that the naval movement by the USA would eventually become common knowledge among global maritime communities.
"

Leaving at two in the morning would not lead to "inadvertently escalated operational costs" and it certainly would not spark debates over ethical implications of resource allocation, especially at a time when the federal government was running a surplus and the Navy was the smallest it has been in modern history (outside of the beginning of the Gore Presidency, when it was at its smallest).

Also, there were no "commercial satellites, international monitoring systems, and local maritime observers" at the disposal of Thailand that could bring any of this information to the Thai government, or the wider world.

Finally, the overwhelming majority of the Pacific Ocean was empty and not covered with trade vessels. In fact, the United States and Thailand had no trade routes set up between them. But even if there were civilian commerce ships in the specific sectors mentioned in the previous post that the Navy would be using, these vessels would have no reason to report the presence of foreign military vessels over unencrypted civilian channels when they were simply sailing in international waters.

In summary, the deployment of SUBRON 3 when entirely unnoticed and the deployment of CSG-4 would go unnoticed to the general public for at least ten hours, and would not be known to the wider world (if anyone in the world was even looking for this information) until half a day had gone by from the beginning of the deployment. CSG-4 continued towards its intended destination undetected by military assets of any other country, including Thailand - it's location, it's heading, it's speed, it's intended destination, and even the route it was taking (as well as the number of ships accompanying the carrier) would remain a total mystery to anyone outside of certain parts of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard.

TOP SECRET

PACIFIC THEATER


Carrier Strike Group One and Submarine Squadron 3 arrived about 100 miles due east of Guam. The fleet would not anchor and would circle around Guam as they waited for the Polish flotilla to arrive to the area. The Polish Navy was securely informed that Rear Admiral Nicholas Monroe was the operational commander for the fleet. The Coast Guard and the Navy would await the approach of the Polish warships and, if possible, track them when they were close enough to be detected by radar. Most likely, the E-2C Hawkeyes would be the first entities capable of detecting the Polish warships as they approached, however it is possible that one of the Coast Guard Celestial-class cutters patrolling around Guam would detect the fleet before CSG-One would.​

The replenishment vessels and oilers would replenish at Guam and continue their mission of keeping the warships stockpiled and fueled. The Polish fleet would be securely informed of the location of the USS Nimitz as well as a location for the fleets to rendezvous at (14.085945, 142.902376). If the Polish had no issue with this, the American fleet would proceed to the rendezvous point. From there, Rear Admiral Monroe would take operational command of both of the fleets. He would draw up plans for the formation that the ships would whenever they would continue sailing East. Because the threat of a Thai incursion into Burma seemed to be gone, the fleet would no longer be on an intervention mission, but would instead be on a patrol mission. Even though the threat of conflict was much more unlikely at this point, this would likely prove to be a very valuable cooperative deployment with the Polish Navy and would hopefully help build the growing military and political relationship between Poland and the United States.

Background:
Originally intended as a mission of force projection during the rising tensions between Thailand and Myanmar, the Polish Pacific Flotilla would be tasked to patrol the region alongside the American Carrier Strike Group 1 and the Submarine Squadron 3. While the risk of open conflict between Thailand and Myanmar has been reduced greatly, the possibility was still there and therefore the Polish Pacific Flotilla would be ordered to maintain heightened state of readiness during the operation.




Objective:
1. Regroup with American Naval Forces near Guam and join the fleet as an integral part of the patrolling duties.
2. Perform their duties alongside their American counterparts while monitoring the situation between Thailand and Myanmar
3. Promote Friendly relations between Poland and the United States of America

Deployment
Having been deployed to Guam and successfully refueled, replenished, and rearmed at the Naval Station located there, the Amber Sentinel Task Force would regroup with the American CSG at the rendezvous location(14.085945, 142.902376). During the brief transit time, the commander of the Polish Flotilla would maintain proper contact with the American forces to insure the safety of both groups from accidental collisions by providing precise location of each Polish vessel via encrypted communication channels. Once within range to join CSG 1 and Submarine Squadron 3, the Polish commander would inform the commander of the CSG to issue positional orders to insure safe implementation into the American fleet.

TOP SECRET

PACIFIC THEATER


Rear Admiral Nicholas Monroe received an emergency action message from the National Military Command Center at the Pentagon. He was ordered to redirect the American fleet to the Northwest Coast of the United States, off the coast of Washington State. Admiral Monroe immediately summoned his senior staff aboard the USS Nimitz, as well as the captain of the Nimitz, and briefed them. Rear Admiral Monroe made a secure call to his counterpart in the Polish fleet to briefly inform him that they were going to have to redirect to the West Coast of the United States due to an extremely serious situation in Canada. If the Polish warships were willing to join, he would direct the Polish fleet to take rear guard behind the American fleet as the sailed East.

All flights as previously described would continue while all surface vessels would continue to use all passive and active means of radar available to them, while the submarines and surface vessels would use all passive means of sonar to detect any other vessels within range. Throughout this transit, the fleet would not enter the territorial waters of any country other than the United States and the United Kingdom. The vessels would be refueled and replenished at sea as necessary.

With the order to increase alert status to ready the klaxon went over the ships throughout the Polish attachment as sailors maneuvered quickly to their stations to insure manned and ready to engage potential hostiles during their transit. They didn't know the full situation yet but they knew where they were headed and they were expecting some sort of resistance. As the fleet finished preparations to begin assisting the American fleet, the commander of the Polish fleet would converse with the American admiral. He would inform him of the message he received from command and insure he was with the Americans during this mission. During transit, the polish Celestial-class ships would form a ring around the OKP Huragon and the OKP Baltyk in the design of a compass rose to insure air protection as well as surface protection while the submarines would continue to screen two miles ahead of the Polish Flotilla. Each ship would carefully monitor their surface radar, air radar, and sonar to insure they were able to maneuver without risk of colliding with manmade or natural obstacles during their transit. Each ship would maintain a one mile distance from each other unless they needed to refuel or replenish, and then they would carefully maneuver to be alongside the OKP Baltyk, careful to insure they did not collide with any other ships. The OKP Baltyk and the OKP Huragon would be offered up for replenishment services to the American flee if needed. The Polish flotilla would maintain a distance of at least three miles behind the trailing American vessel from the leading Polish submarines. The vessels would be careful to not enter the territorial waters of any nation except for the United States of the United Kingdom.

PACIFIC THEATER


Carrier Strike Group One and SUBRON 3 arrived about 50 miles off the coast of northern Washington State. The carrier strike group continued to steam forward at 14 knots, but it would remain in the general area. The strike group would continue flights as previously described. Rear Admiral Monroe was entirely prepared to order strikes on American or Canadian territory if he was ordered to by the National Command Authority. The primary mission of the American carrier group, other than keeping away international outside influence, would be to assist American forces and the Air Force in the event that an incursion into Canada became necessary. The carrier strike group maintained its readiness and coordinated with Polish and British naval forces to secure the western seaboard of Canada between Alaska and Washington State.

Deployment

Polish Pacific Flotilla would remain at the rear of the American Carrier Strike Group and would continue to maintain their active surveillance of the region using their surface radar, aerial radar, and sonar to maintain security of the entire naval group. Any contacts that could not be identified themselves or were perceived as hostile would have the information sent to the American and British naval groups were able to maintain their combat effectiveness and security during the operation. The Polish ships were prepared to act in defense of American or Canadian forces if the need should arise and would mark targets the Americans would call out with their own weapon systems regardless of their location. Unlike their American compatriots, the Polish service members had no qualms of defending themselves or their allies form perceived threats no matter what.

During the patrolling of the Canadian coastline, the GROM units stationed on board the OKP Huragon would continuously train in various scenarios such as ship boarding, ship interdictions, firing drills, physical training, and other exercises and drills that would insure their combat effectiveness was not reduced due to laziness and boredom. This would be the second longest deployment in modern Polish history and they did not intend on embarrassing themselves on the world stage because of it.

As the flash message was decrypted and the commander read the report he would summon senior officers to his ready room to begin forming a plan of action. With their current position, the best route back would be via the Panama Canal but they would run the risk of running into Canadian forces intent on taking French territory and destroying allied equipment. While Poland was not allied with France their stance in Europe could jeopardize their mission. Once the plan had been formulated, the information would be transmitted to each Polish ship via encrypted means to insure each was understood the implications that were arising across the world.
