I ran into him waiting for an elevator one time and he took care of any awkwardness by asking how I was doing. Such a genuinely nice guy.

Look up the story on Stanislav Petrov. It was his turn to save the world (1983).

Nice to remember a time vests weren’t a negative personality indicator.

Regarding the "other captain": Arkhipov was a Chief of Staff of the Submarine Brigade, and thus wasn't in charge of the ship, but, being in a more senior position than the captain, managed to calm him down, while the latter was really ready to launch the torpedo.

I think he’s really actually goodlooking, just have some overly defining feature like his bug eyes, sorta like Bill Skaarsgard. But yeah, I think he’s goodlooking, he probably just don’t style himself in the “traditional handsome hollywood leading man” sense. Maybe he purposely do it because it adds to his character actor aura.

THIS is exactly why I don't believe there is a credible risk of Russia using a nuclear weapon. Even if its ordered there will be one person who refuses. History has shown that both times it could have happened it didn't.

Normally, on Soviet subs the order to launch nuclear weapons needed two approvals: That of the Captain and the Political Officer. IIRC Arkhipov was fleet Commander though and used the "attacked" submarine (when they tried running the blockade of Cuba the US Navy started pestering them with training depth charged to make them surface - which underwater felt like real ones) as his flagship. So launching a nuclear Torpedo on that particular ship required three approvals as to not override the most senior officer on board.
Chilling. Absolutely chilling to think about it.
