The Cuban Missile Crisis was a 13-day confrontation between

nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey were
matched by Soviet deployments of nuclear missiles in
Cuba.

The crisis lasted from October 16 to October 28, 1962. The

the closest the
the

war

The USS Nautilus (above), the world’s first nuclear submarine,was commissioned by the U.S. Navy.

The Nautilus was constructed under the direction of U.S. Navy
Captain Hyman G. Rickover, a Russian-born engineer who
joined the U.S. atomic program in 1946. In 1947, he was put in
charge of the navy’s nuclear-propulsion program and began work
on an atomic submarine. 

In 1952, the Nautiluskeel was laid by President Harry S. Truman,
and on January 21,
1954, first lady Mamie Eisenhower broke a
bottle of champagne across its bow as it was launched into the
Thames River at Groton,
Connecticut
