Viewing cable 07MANAGUA2472, COMMEMORATING THE GREAT WHITE FLEET IN NICARAGUA

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07MANAGUA2472.

SUBJECT: COMMEMORATING THE GREAT WHITE FLEET IN NICARAGUA 
 
REF: SECSTATE 153116 
 
1. (SBU) Embassy Nicaragua appreciates the invitation to 
commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Great White Fleet. 
We note that President Ortega has exhibited a penchant for 
attacking "U.S. imperialism and interventionism," though not 
the Great White Fleet specifically.  However, Ortega also 
begrudgingly acknowledges that the U.S., particularly the 
military, have consistently provided humanitarian assistance 
to the Nicaraguan people in times of crisis, including most 
recently, the September 2007 operation to provide relief 
following Hurricane Felix. 
 
2. (SBU) In light of these considerations, we believe that 
the most appropriate method to commemorate this anniversary 
would be to incorporate commemoration events into the already 
planned port visits scheduled for 2008.  These include the 
confirmed visit of the USS Kearsarge to Puerto Cabezas August 
6-21, 2008 to undertake humanitarian operations including 
medical, dental and veterinary care, as well as humanitarian 
construction projects.  A second opportunity would be during 
the potential visit of the USS Forrest Sherman to Puerto 
Corinto in July 2008.
