During the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962, the United States imposed a naval blockade, referred to as a "quarantine," around Cuba. At its peak, the U.S. deployed around 180 ships to enforce the blockade, including naval vessels and cargo ships. The blockade aimed to prevent the delivery of Soviet missiles and military equipment to Cuba. The crisis lasted for about 13 days before a resolution was reached.
