Coming soon.
The words Cold War invoke many images and each reveals the public and private fears of people all over the world. For some, the signature memory is the Doomsday Clock established by nuclear scientists to mark the minutes to eternity world leaders were juggling with their cat and mouse games. For others, it is the opposite pole demonstrated in the posters featuring 'Bea Alert' and her friend 'Justin Case' which were meant to reassure us by giving us concrete things to do i.e., lie down and face the curb if you are caught outside when the missile approaches. The buck stopped at two Soviet men,Vasili Arkhipov and Stanislas Petrov when their decisions kept the world in balance. Efforts to prevent tipping this balance, such as Operation Able Archer in November of 1983 came close to destabilizing the world even more.
Coming soon a brief outline of some of the tensions that marked the Cold War world of our Silent Warrior HMCS Ojibwa and serve as a reminder of what could still come to pass.
