on 28 january 1961, president kennedy was briefed, together with all the major departments, on the latest plan (code-named "operation pluto"), which involved 1,000 men landed in a ship-borne invasion at trinidad, cuba, about 270 km (170 mi) south-east of havana, at the foothills of the escambray mountains in sancti spiritus province. kennedy authorized the active departments to continue, and to report progress. trinidad had good port facilities, it was closer to many existing counter-revolutionary activities, and it offered an escape route into the escambray mountains. that scheme was subsequently rejected by the state department because the airfield there was not large enough for b-26 bombers and, since b-26s were to play a prominent role in the invasion, this would destroy the façade that the invasion was just an uprising with no american involvement. secretary of state dean rusk raised some eyebrows by contemplating airdropping a bulldozer to extend the airfield. kennedy rejected trinidad, preferring a more low-key locale. on 4 april 1961, president kennedy then approved the bay of pigs plan (also known as "operation zapata"), because it had a sufficiently long airfield, it was farther away from large groups of civilians than the trinidad plan, and it was less "noisy" militarily, which would make denial of direct us involvement more plausible. the invasion landing area was changed to beaches bordering the bahía de cochinos (bay of pigs) in las villas province, 150km southeast of havana, and east of the zapata peninsula. the landings were to take place at playa girón (code-named "blue beach"), playa larga (code-named "red beach"), and caleta buena inlet (code-named "green beach").
