Today, let's celebrate the birthday of Vasili Arkhipov.

I know he was on "the other side" but he turned out to be pretty good in the scheme of things. Maybe the world's most important unknown person.

Agreed! Used his experience and sense, to prevent what might have been the first thermo-nuclear war.
 
Not an "unknown" any more... thanks for posting the link, it was very interesting to read about him.
 
WT?!?!? Lauch "practice" charges at another country's ship? Since when is this o.k? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.
