Cuban Missile Crisis Tensions and Blockade Developments
President Kennedy imposed a midnight blockade to halt Soviet missiles and offensive cargo to Cuba. The U S Navy stood ready to intercept 25 Soviet ships with orders to sink defying vessels.

Krushchev denounced the blockade as piratical while Macmillan urged restraint amid protests worldwide.
