Operation Pelikan (German: Unternehmen Pelikan), also known as Projekt 14, was a proposed World War II German plan for crippling the Panama Canal from St. Martin Bay near Nicaragua. The plan never made it past the brainstorming phase. Most of these plans involved acts of sabotage using agents in place and/or landed by U-boat.
Ladislas Farago's The Game of the Foxes: The Untold Story of German Espionage in the United States and Great Britain During World War II has a brief mention on the plan.
