The Anglo-American War of 1930

I think this article is a way too breathless in its telling of this tale.  I am not surprised in the least by such plans having been written up.  This is what military staffs do in peacetime to keep busy.  And supposedly, to keep sharp and be ready for any contingency.  I've known of a similar Canadian invasion plan from about 20 years earlier.  I've no doubt that there's even one for today, moldering away in some Pentagon basement.  It's not serious.  And talking about moving a supply depot from point A to point B as a prelude to war - don't make me laugh.  America's Navy was in pretty fine shape in the 1930's in my opinion.  But the Army had been gutted.  Yes, there were resentments, but there were also many close ties between Britain and the States at that point.  The Northeast elites have always looked to England somewhat enviously and in awe - going to their schools, marrying into their families, and vacationing there.  Japan and Russia were seen as the main and future antagonists of the U.S., and that's where a lot of policy, both internal and external, was directed.  Don't take this stuff too seriously.
