DEPLOYMENT ORDERS​

​

CONTEXT​

Preliminary discussions between the Secretary of The Navy and President Sinclair resulted in the Navy prioritizing regular global patrols. Operation Trident was chosen to be an experimental global deployment of a variety of American submarines on training-focused missions to far-away places in the high seas. Preparations were made to deploy the submarines and their crews for up to six months. The crews of the submarines except for the captain and the executive officer of each vessel were in the dark as to where they would be going and what their mission would be, however the officers aboard each ship would eventually get more details once they were underway. The preparation of the deployment of the submarines were guarded with the utmost secrecy according to the best traditions of the Navy.​
