As I recall the US F*ed with the K-219 (that Yankee that suffed a missile explosion off Berumuda), cutting the towing line and maybe even taking some warheads after she sank and there wasn't a war. There have been many incadents durring that cold war like that (The Pueblo, U-2, K-129 etc) and none resulted in open war.
