Explanation:

A naval quarantine is when one nation declares that no naval vessels will be allowed to cross an imaginary line within x number of miles of another nation. ... The US issued a naval quarantine against Cuba when USSR missile launchers were discovered in Cuba.

The United States imposed such a quarantine on Cuba on Oct. 23, 1962, to force the removal of Soviet nuclear missiles that had been installed there. The quarantine blocked shipments of offensive weapons - missiles, bombers, bombs, warheads and support equipment - to the island.
