The History of the US Navy's DEVCON Levels

In those days, they didn't actually write a DEVCON and you can see it going up and down. The men tell me, all hell broke loose. The ship went into a panic. By three hours later, they're back to peacetime. But at this point, the ships anchor in seven fathoms of water. That's only 42 feet. And they don't move for four days. You know that state has never happened by right in the field.
