OPERATION CORAL
Operation Coral is scheduled to begin at 0444 Local on 26 July 1989.
Over the past several weeks, the situation around Hati has deteriorated rapidly. Soviet naval and air forces have become increasingly aggressive, directly threatening civilian and commercial traffic in the region. On 07 July, a Soviet patrol boat unlawfully boarded and damaged a merchant tanker bound for Alamba. Just days later, on 11 July, an American Airlines flight was forced to divert after being dangerously shadowed by Soviet fighters.
Soviet activity on the island has also escalated sharply. On 09 July, new radar signatures appeared across Hati, indicating the deployment of additional surveillance and air-defense systems. The scale of Soviet involvement became undeniable on 14 July, when an SR-71 reconnaissance mission confirmed that Gonaïves Airfield had been transformed into a full Soviet forward operating base. Fighter, bomber, and patrol aircraft were observed at the site, along with hardened infrastructure. The same mission detected a powerful Soviet naval formation in the Golfe de la Gonâve, led by a Kirov-class battlecruiser—one of the most formidable surface combatants in the world.
In response to these developments, NATO issued a formal demand that Soviet forces withdraw and cease all hostile actions. The deadline passed without any compliance, signalling a clear refusal to de-escalate.
Operation Coral has therefore been authorised with two primary objectives:
1. Neutralise Gonaïves Airfield, preventing any further Soviet air operations from Hati.
2. Destroy the Kirov-class battlecruiser, eliminating the most dangerous naval asset in the theatre.
To achieve this, NATO will deploy three major naval groups from the 2nd Fleet supported by Los Angeles-class and Sturgeon-class submarines and a comprehensive air wing based at Key West NAS.
Success will stop Soviet expansion in the Caribbean, protect civilian traffic, and restore NATO’s control and stability in the region.
