Coalition to Stop Trident.
The Coalition to Stop Trident (CST) was formally established in Connecticut in 1984 to coordinate and continue the activities of several groups resisting the production and deployment of Trident nuclear submarines and missiles in Connecticut. Resistance to the Trident program in Connecticut began in 1976, with the keel laying of the first Trident submarine, the USS Ohio. Groups which preceded the CST included the Trident/Conversion Campaign, the American Friends Service Committee of Connecticut, the Atlantic Life Network, and the Connecticut Freeze Campaign. Along with educating the public about the dangers of nuclear weapons and the Trident program specifically, the CST participated in a series of demonstrations against the Trident, which usually occurred in conjunction with the launching or commissioning of a new submarine. The anti-Trident movement also included a small number of direct actions, known as "Plowshares actions," during which protestors would enter a shipyard and damage submarines and missiles. At the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, the CST stopped holding regular meetings; sporadic protests continued against the production of Trident submarines.
