There were three American submarine bases on the East Coast when the Second Great Depression began. New London in Connecticut, Kings Bay in Georgia, and Norfolk in Virginia. The sinking of USS Georgia after it fired nuclear missiles on Virginia would have drastic effects on all three bases. Connecticut would join the New England Federation when it formed, just as Georgia and Virginia would join the Confederation of Dixie in time. But the submarine service was united in its wish to not be ordered to fire on Americans again. No matter which flavor of Americans they were. Which is why, once the Convention of States reformed the Federal government, the submarine bases became joint commands of the States they resided in and the new Federal government. With the binding agreement that they would never be deployed against any other American State. Ever. Under any circumstances.
