Summary
| Description |
A U.S. Navy Lockheed P-3A-20-LO Orion (BuNo 150497) of Patrol Squadron VP-44 flies over the Soviet ship Metallurg Anosov and destroyer USS Barry (DD-933) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Barry had been ordered to investigate a Soviet merchantman, proceeded to her station on 9 November 1962 and sighted the merchant ship that evening. She closed to within 370 m on the merchantman's starboard quarter, illuminated the ship's quarter and bow, and identified her as the Soviet-registry Metallurg Anosov. Trailing astern, Barry followed the merchant ship, heading east away from the quarantine zone, until morning. After dawn, the destroyer closed the merchant, to "obtain photographs of deck cargo", until late morning when Barry shaped course for the aircraft carrier USS Essex (CVS-9) for refueling and transfer of photographic personnel. It is maden voyage of turbine dry cargo vessel Metallurg Anosov (delivery date of the vessel 29/09/1962). |
