For the same reason any other single military installation or vessel needs its own DEFCON - it's at a DEFense CONdition different from the rest of the military.They probably think it sounds cool to say.But then again, they're just one ship, why the hell would they need defcons? Eureka Seven gets it right: Gekkostate announces they're going to DEFCON I several times before engaging enemy airships.The current system, dubbed the UK Threat Levels, doesn't use numbers at all, instead ranking the current likelihood of attack on a scale from Low to Critical (its most recent predecessor, the now-defunct BIKINI scale, used colours). The UK did once operate a 'Queen's Order' level which escalated from 1 to 5, QO1 being the peacetime default and QO5 meaning (at the time) that the V-bombers had started their one way trip to Russia. In general, there is no single DEFCON status for the world or country. The Yom Kippur War of 1973 saw a brief period at Defcon 3 (codename "ROUND HOUSE", with some forces in the Middle East being at 2), as did 9/11. The highest state reached for the Strategic Air Command in US history was Defcon 2 (codename "FAST PACE", during the Cuban Missile Crisis), but the Gulf War led to forces in the Middle East reaching Defcon 1, for obvious reasons - like being at war. The use of nuclear weapons is authorised here, but they will still require unlock codes from high authority. Defcon 1 (codename " COCKED PISTOL") is the highest, referring to a confirmed state of war. Defcon 5 (codename "FADE OUT" ) is the lowest state of alert, aka completely tranquil peace time. In some movies, the phrase "Defcon 5" is used to refer to the highest state of alert. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples.Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted.Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so.
