A noble history of challenging nuclear weapons and demanding a more peaceful world.
peace boat gently sailed over sacred whale breeding grounds, with an ever respectful sense of protection to our beautiful fellow creatures, then bravely showed its sails entering St. Mary's River of the historic town of St. Mary's which joins the beautiful, yet ominous entrance of the East River. Along the East River exists the most deadly concentration of Ohio Class nuclear weapon laden submarines on the East Coast, if not the world, the Naval Submarine Base of Kings Bay.
On April 4, 2018, seven Catholic Worker activists, in solidarity with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King’s prophetic call, and on the anniversary of his assassination, surreptitiously entered into the submarine base’s "kill zone” in prayer, wishing to awaken U.S. citizens to their current course toward omnicide.
There are eight Ohio Class Trident submarines based at Kings Bay. Other nuclear submarines come in for refurbishment and repair, and the United Kingdom's Trident Vanguard fleet are also serviced in this Naval Base. The submarine base is home to three major U.S. Navy commands – Trident Training Facility, Trident Refit Facility, The Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic, and a Marine Corps Security Force Battalion.
The Kings Bay Plowshares 7, were found guilty of three felonies and a misdemeanor. Unbelievably to many of us, the jury requested to know if there were actually nuclear missiles on the base. The jurors, all residents of the area, did not know. Siding with the prosecution , the judge ordered the answer to this question to not be given to the jurors. "The presence of such weapons could not be confirmed.
The Kings Bay Plowshares action was much less known, and was not covered by any mainstream media on or after April 4th, 2018. They were effectively silenced and ignored.
