:01:01
He's to say that the Sovies
rockets and missiles
:01:03
are so powerful there's no need
to seek a launching site
:01:06
for them outside the territory
of the Soviet Union.
:01:09
The Soviet Union appeals to
all the peoples of the world
:01:11
to raise their voices in defense of
the United Nations.
:01:15
It appeals to them to vote against
the United States' policy
:01:18
of piracy, banditry and
the unleashing of a nuclear war.
:01:27
From Commander Task Force 136 to
US Chief of Naval Operations,
:01:30
Task Force blockade rendezvous complete.
:01:33
Combat air patrols on station.
:01:35
All units full readiness status.
:01:42
We've intercepted a series of coded
Soviet naval messages.
:01:46
Now we can't decipher them,
but we've traced them
:01:48
to a Soviet submarine fleet
moving into the Caribbean.
:01:52
How large a fleet, how many submarines?
:01:55
We can't estimate that yet, sir,
:01:57
but there's no doubt that
they're assembling
:01:59
to escort and protect
those 25 Soviet merchant ships
:02:03
approaching the blockade line.
:02:05
Now, the submarines will be kept
under constant surveillance
:02:08
as we locate them.
:02:10
And the merchant ships?
:02:12
We're tracking them, sir.
:02:15
Very well.
:02:18
But any order to fire,
or to board, for that matter,
:02:22
must originate right here.
:02:29
I've sent another message to Khrushchev
:02:31
urging him to observe
our quarantine line,
:02:34
and assuring him that we have no wish
to fire on any Soviet ships,
:02:39
and I mean that.
:02:42
We can't let events get out of hand
:02:44
and make the situation more difficult
than it already is.
:02:49
Now, Admiral suppose
one of the Soviet ships
:02:53
tries to run the blockade,
how do we stop her,
:02:56
how much force do we use?
:02:59
Do we disable her, do we fire,
do we tow, what?
