Ahh this was a historic moment which determined the lives of the entire world both US and Russia had enough nuclear missiles and bombs to create a nuclear winter
(the reaction from the bombs would be so intense that it would create a layer to thick for sunlight to come through making it could however his is just a theory.
Basically the president sent US naval ships directly to the Russian ships (so close some US crew members claim could see the faces of Russian crew members) and The president basically said back off OR ELSE then the Russians basically said MAKE ME and finally days after the Russian ships retreated. This was the biggest chance of nuclear warfare that ever happened almost all schools closed or had lock downs each day in case of a missile actually being launched
There was rumors of a missile being launched at my history teaches school when she was a kid and they had to hide under there desks or sit face down next to their locker and she later found out this was so they could identify dead bodies if a missile was actually launched
so long story short SUPER CLOSE!!!!!!!!!!
