Soviet ship carrying crates holding Komar guided-missile patrol boats on their way to Cuba, September 1962

Crateology was the 'science' of identifying the contents of Soviet shipments to the Island ofCuba carried out by theCentral Intelligence Agency during theCuban Missile Crisis.[1]

Crateology has declined as a discipline in recent years due to globalisation and the decline in the usage of custom made wooden crates in favour of standard metalshipping containers. Though making the world intra-connected and smaller, globalisation has resulted in the loss of not merely a science, but a 'beautiful art form'.[2]
