Summary

Cuban Missile Crisis, 1962-One of the greatest showdowns between West and East during the long struggle known as the Cold War was the Cuban Missile Crisis. Alarmed by the placement of nuclear armed missiles by the Soviet Union in Cuba, President John F. Kennedy ordered a "quarantine" of Cuban waters by the U.S. Navy's Atlantic Fleet. Orchestrated out of the Fleet's Norfolk headquarters, the patrols eventually convinced the Soviets to remove the missiles without conflict. The image is a recently declassified map used by the Atlantic Fleet showing the position of American and Soviet ships at the height of the crisis.
