Detailed explanation-1: -After many long and difficult meetings, Kennedy decided to place a naval blockade, or a ring of ships, around Cuba. The aim of this “quarantine, ‘’ as he called it, was to prevent the Soviets from bringing in more military supplies. He demanded the removal of the missiles already there and the destruction of the sites.
Detailed explanation-2: -The crisis was over but the naval quarantine continued until the Soviets agreed to remove their IL–28 bombers from Cuba and, on November 20, 1962, the United States ended its quarantine. U.S. Jupiter missiles were removed from Turkey in April 1963.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Enterprise was deployed with three other carriers–Independence, Essex, and Randolph–to blockade the island.
