The 41st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Keeping the Lights On

In organizational parlance, "Keeping the Lights On," means to stay in business, especially under tough or trying circumstances. Given the world's current troubles, this closely describes the dilemma of modern navies as governments make hard decisions between defense and economic spending. Add to that noxious brew the touch of a "no-notice" crisis and things are liable to get very interesting.

Venezuela 2010: An ever-defiant Hugo Chavez sees opportunity in the global draw-down of American presence in the Caribbean and declares an expansion of his nation's Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ). Citing maritime security concerns, Chavez uses his weekly radio show to proclaim that unprecedented levels of gun-running and drug smuggling from neighbouring states have forced his hand in order to secure the safety of the Gulf area.

Venezuelan Coast Guard elements are openly harassing and stopping legitimate traffic in transit through the zone. Any vessels failing to comply are subject to immediate use of lethal force. Not surprisingly, intelligence sources note that Cuban, Russian, and certain other nationalities are being given a free pass. Despite the obvious dangers in fleeing the illegitimate blockade, several ships have refused to submit and are attempting to exit the area through the North and East passages. SouthCom has ordered 2nd Fleet to stand ready and prepare operations for upholding Freedom of Navigation principles.
