There have been more than 60 Plowshares actions. The first took place on September 9, 1980, when Philip and Daniel Berrigan and six others hammered on nuclear nose cones at a General Electric plant in King of Prussia, Penn. Phil Berrigan, Crane and Kelly were members of the Prince of Peace Plowshares, which disarmed an Aegis destroyer at the Bath [Maine] Iron Works on February 12, 1997. After Rev. Kelly served his sentence for the Maine action and refused to cooperate with federal probation, he managed to avoid arrest and engage in another act of resistance to the nuclear menace.
