HB of CJ 1,263 Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 (edited) I do not watch TV. Have not in over 20 years. Is this the Russian navel sub nuke officer who refused to "turn the key" during the Cuban Missile Crisis? The key being the requirement of having two or perhaps three officers all having to agree for the release of russian navy nukes in this case being a torp? The russian navy probably did have a few back then. Not many. Edited November 20, 2015 by HB of CJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
