First, one of the scariest “back from the brink” moments occurred underwater. On October 27, 1962 – in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis – Navy destroyers dropped “grenade-like” depth-charges on a Soviet submarine threatening to breach the U.S.-imposed blockade of Cuba. As a result, historian Sheldon M. Stern wrote, “the temperature in the submarine rose to over 133 degrees and some crewmen lost consciousness.” 
The captain, furious but unable to surface, “ordered the arming of a nuclear-tipped torpedo.” In the end, it seems, he “actually gave the order to fire because he believed that World War III had already begun” before being persuaded to hold off by another officer.
