[REDEPLOYMENT] Smile and wave boys, smile and wave

The following vessels will be deployed off the coast of Cuba.

• x3 Thetis-class Cutters
• x5 Flower-class corvettes

[S] Actually, no, they are simply there for posturing and nothing more

The ships are instructed to simply cruise leisurely along the coast of Cuba and are authorized to make as many opportunities for shore leave as deemed reasonable outside of Cuba.

It is rumor, in a sense, that there is some bickering in the top elements of the Falange inner circle about Cuba. But that the Caudillo and more isolationist elements have won out in basically leaving Batista to his 'ill-fed wolves'. The vessels are there simply to save face, nothing more.
