Answer 1

The United States forced such an isolate on Cuba on Oct. 23, 1962, to compel the evacuation of Soviet atomic rockets that had been introduced there. 

The isolate impeded shipments of hostile weapons - rockets, planes, bombs, warheads and backing hardware - to the island. 

President Kennedy's declaration of it given that boats continuing toward Cuba could be captured and coordinated to distinguish themselves and their load and ports of call, and furthermore ''to stop, to mislead, to submit to visit and look, or to continue as coordinated.'' 

'Power will be utilized distinctly to the degree important,'' the decree said. The isolate line was many miles adrift from Cuban regional waters. 

Two Soviet ships, the Gagarin and the Komiles, came surprisingly close to the isolate boundary, and the plane carrying warship Essex was shipped off catch them. These boats turned around prior to being boarded, On Oct. 26, the Marucla, a Lebanese-library tanker, was halted and boarded by an outfitted boarding party from two United States destroyers.
