not just conventional defeat. Unlike prior wars, this enemy wasn't just another ship. It was an unseen Soviet sub potentially carrying a nuclear-armed torpedo, a reality they didn't fully know at the time. The fear & tension was palpable. DEFCON 2.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1962, Soviet naval officer #VasiliArkhipov likely prevented a #NuclearWar by vetoing launch of a nuclear torpedo during the #CubanMissileCrisis. Three men had to agree to fire and only #Arkhipov opposed it. Doing so prevented full-scale nuclear exchange.

A memo issued by OEP director Edward McDermott on this day in 1962... "Stress conditions" at Mount Weather (aka Classified Facility). If you want a gun... Sports clothes are fine... Probably my favorite #CubanMissileCrisis document of all time. I found it at the National Archives years ago.
