Album Info:
I served aboard Kootenay from early 1961 until my discharge in Sept 1963. We were deployed during the Cuban Missile Crisis. At one point we closed up to full Action Stations while we went after what was rumoured to be a Russian Sub. We never fired at anything, and no announcement was made regarding the incident. I have since found out that we were engaging a Russian Foxtrot Nuclear Sub. Certain published articles describe the incident. The buzz among the crew at the time was that it was armed with nuclear torpedoes. The encounter ended without armed conflict.
