According to Alexei Dubivko, a US destroyer fired a submarine torpedo which passed the target and a half meters.

These facts were revealed later, when the crew returned to their homeland.

The participants recall the trick of Valentin Savitsky, the commander of the B-59 submarine, who used wit and left the tight circle of the environment in which he was taken by US destroyers.

Upon returning to his native dock, the central staff tried to disown the mistakes made.

The submarine commanders were accused of violating the charter.

They were charged with disobeying orders and reproached that the commanders of Soviet submarines did not use nuclear weapons - they did not give the order to open fire on the US naval forces.

Minister of Defense of the USSR Andrei Grechko until the last moment remained ignorant that diesel, and not nuclear submarines, were sent to the coast of Cuba.

Fidel Castro, who arrived in Severomorsk, demonstrated a submarine that was not in Cuba, but was more modern and powerful.
