Wasn't that the one where on a Soviet submarine, 2 out of the 3 required officers voted to launch their nukes, but the captain refused?

Not the captain, the political commissar.

Also that happened. There was also an “accidental” incursion of ussr air space by the US (likely accidental as the plane ended up landing in Alaska with no fuel)
