Cuban missle crisis assertion[edit]

Write now, the assertion is made, "...the Captain, believing that a war might already be in progress, ordered a nuclear torpedo armed for use; apparently two other high-ranking officers on board, notably Vasiliy Arkhipov, calmed him down.[No source citations provided for assertion made in last sentence]"

BBC carried a similar story, overheard in a bar in Havana during a reunion of former soviet naval participants, in 2002, I think.
The entry at Vasiliy Arkhipov also tells a similar story.
Chronology of Submarine Contact During the Cuban Missile Crisis October 1, 1962 - November 14, 1962 entry for Saturday, October 25, 1962--1729 (local time) reads: ... Although aware of the U.S. notification that practice-depth charges would be used, the initial impression of the Soviet submariners was that they were under attack. (Deck Log Book of Cony, 10/27/62; Huchthause, p. 169)

Entry for Saturday, October 27, 1962-2050-2052 (local time): With its batteries running low, submarine B-59/C-19 is forced to surface and heads east. Although surrounded by U.S. ships, submarine captain Vitali Savitsky realizes that they are not in a "state of war; one of the destroyers has a lively band playing jazz.

B-39 Foxtrot may have moved[edit]

The B-39 Foxtrot submarine may have been relocated. I visited B-39 "Cobra" while in Seattle during the summer of 2003. Here are the links: http://russiancobra.com/, http://russiansubseattle.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.214.128.4 (talk) 18:50, 25 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Current'[edit]

Its current status as of April 2015 is unclear.

Unless someone's updating daily, current and currently should not be used in an encyclopedia article, as the reference could become outdated at any time. For similar reasons, past-tense verbs should be used, as most articles will outlive the present-tense status of breaking news.

– Changed to Its subsequent status was unknown. Sca (talk) 13:57, 5 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
