Was the navy at wartime during 1956 thru 1962?

Between 1956 and 1962, the U.S. Navy was not officially at war, but it was involved in various military operations during the Cold War. Notably, the Navy participated in the 1956 Suez Crisis, and in the early 1960s, it was active in the Cuban Missile Crisis and other tensions related to the Cold War, including naval blockades and reconnaissance missions. The Navy's activities during this period were part of broader U.S. efforts to contain communism rather than conventional warfare.
