USSR Centenary

FILE - U.S. Navy guided missile ship Dahlgren trails the Soviet Leninsky Komsomol, Nov. 10, 1962, as the Russian vessel headed from Casilda, Cuba, through the windward passage between Haiti and Cuba. The freighter, loaded with military equipment and missile-like objects covered with canvas, was later intercepted by the destroyer leader Norfolk. After the missiles were detected by reconnaissance flights over Cuba, the US ordered a naval blockade of the island. Tensions soared, but the Soviets agreed to dismantle the missiles and for the US to remove its missiles from Turkey. The positive offshoot was establishment of a US-USSR hotline to facilitate crisis communications. (AP Photo/Henry Burroughs, File) FILE PHOTO
