Acting officials override the statutory holds. Truman loads out at Norfolk. Naval planners report that surprise no longer exists north of the sixtieth parallel.
Ospreys touch down at Kangerlussuaq at 17:30 UTC and an amphibious insertion takes the port at Nuuk. Danish Arctic Command offers no lethal resistance under cabinet orders to document rather than die.

Aster interceptors light the sky over Reykjanes at 02:40 UTC. By 11:20 the British commander surrenders with his ammunition gone. By 15:30 there are armed cordons around the Althing.
Norfolk is moving. Whatever the hold was, it is not a hold any more.
