I'm working on an Alternative History based around the Cold War October 5, 1960 US Defcon 1 incident. In OTL nuclear war was averted because President Eisenhower knew Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev was in NYC for the UN at the time, but what if Krushchev's plane had been late or Krushchev had decided to leave early as the Soviets had done before? Where I need help is in figuring out how long it would have taken America to launch 4 different kinds of missles, the PGM Thor 17 IRBMs, Atlas ICBMs, Snark Cruise Missles, and SLBMs. For the SLBMs I will need to know if any US nuclear submarine (s) were in the Baltic at the time. I Would also like to know about the prospects of Eisenhower calling off US B-52s enroute to Moscow. If anyone has any additional facts or ideas that they would like to contribute I would also really appreciate these.
