On 17–18 AUG 1995, Commander Anthony
Clarke and Rear Admiral Harley Patton, U.S. Navy,
wrote this brief report and response on strange under-
water animal activity noted by the crew of the USS San
Antonio off the coast of Innsmouth, Massachusetts.
The complete text is included on page 206 as a hand-
out for the players.

On 15 AUG 1995, the crew of the nuclear subma-
rine USS San Antonio were conducting maneuvers and
drills off the coast of Massachusetts. They detected
a school of unknown animals at 150 meters down,
whom the captain attempted to drive off with sonar
pings out of concern that the animals could get sucked
into the screws of the sub and foul them up. Instead
of swimming away, the animals began banging and
scraping at the hull. They could be heard wailing and
croaking outside by the crew. Captain Clarke ordered
louder sonar pings, and the creatures departed.

In the process of preparing his usual report,
Clarke ran across a Navy directive dating back to the
raid on Innsmouth requiring any unusual activity near
Innsmouth/Devil Reef to be classified and reported to
the Office of Naval Intelligence. The first part of SEA-
GATE Papers is his brief report to ONI.

The second part of this document is the response
sent to Captain Clarke by Rear Admiral Harley Pat-
ton, Director of ONI. It informs Clarke to tell his crew
that they encountered a group of Navy SEALs testing
an experimental diver’s sled that briefly became entan-
gled with their submarine. Patton also directed Clarke
to turn over all tapes, records, and other materials
relating to the incident to the ONI immediately, in ad-
dition to a number of other expeditious and somewhat
harsh requests.

The San Antonio’s encounter, of course, was in
fact with a group of Deep Ones. The experimental div-
er’s sled (allegedly the focus of Project SEAGATE) was a
ruse to cover the truth. Whether or not Rear Admiral
Patton is a member of Delta Green or is a DG-friend-
ly—or something else entirely—is up to the Handler.
