This has the potential to be a replay of the Missiles of October, 1962.

Few people know exactly how close we really came to all out nuclear war...

In fact, few know our ships off the coast of Cuba were dropping depth charges on Soviet submarines. What our guys on the surface didn't know, was it was a Soviet submarine with nuclear weapons on board, where near brawls on board the sub were over if they should launch on the U.S.

I a seaman apprentice (E2) aboard a destroyer of the coast of Cuba in late 1962. I know about exactly what we did there.
