At first, no one could figure out what the Soviet Union was doing, by sending ship after ship to Cuba, but suspicions were high. With photographic proof in hand, that the Soviet Union was in the midst of installing short range ballistic missiles in Cuba, President Kennedy announced his findings to the world. The worst news, was that these missiles were armed with nuclear warheads, and could reach nearly every city and town of the United States. The news led to such things as bomb shelters and storage of mass amounts of food and water.
