Its very scary in my way of thinking. Look at all the bombs found buried around D.C. in recent years too. With the building up of the area etc. many could have been hurt.
Tybee Island is a wonderful vacation spot and very very popular with the people around the East Coast. http://www.tybeeisland.com/ This fact mixed with the possibility some 'hunter' finding it and messing with it.
Or the weird weather things that are going on maybe shifting it.
I wonder how many other 'hidden' things are out there we don't know of?

There are large areas of the ocean where munitions back as far as WWI were carried out and dumped, these included chemical weapons. Now that the casings are breaking down, huge areas of water are being contaminated killing off fish and poisoning those left. Of course, there are many people eating these chemicals directly as part of their catch.

I'm sure you remember from when you lived in this area AFA the big industrial park called "Raritan center".Prior to that it was known as "Raritan Arsenal".It was an ammo dump and got sold to the developers who made it the industrial park and part of it went to becoming our local community college.And it is right beside "raritan bay" so for sure a lot of stuff has leaked into the bay.They are still finding all kinds of stuff buried there like mustard gas.The US also has had to spend billions on clean up of nuclear stuff in TN and Washington where we made the enriched uranium for our bombs.
There are also other nuclear missiles lost in the sea;

the soviets also left lots of stuff "out there", some of it supressed for decades, and some of it we may never know.

yeah, you know. just dump them. on the upside, it did provide real-world data on what happens when you dump fissables in the ocean. so, now we know.

The Kursk had a nuclear arsenal on board when it exploded and sunk.

That is an amazing photo. I honestly can't believe it was that bad.

I don't have much to add, but I just wanted to say there were some very interesting things I learned in this thread. I had no idea there were nuclear bombs that had been lost at sea, unaccounted for. And munitions in general too. I bet the US government would rather that the populace be oblivious to all this, but I'm sure not oblivious anymore! :thumbsup: Great thread! Thanks to Will E Worm and all who contributed links.
I was reading about the SAS during the Gulf conflict back in 1990, when it was finished the British Army was going to dump around 15 tons of ordinance into the sea off Saudi Arabia. That's a mix of bullets, grenades, rockets, Stinger Missiles and anything else that goes bang. Luckily the whole lot was given to the SAS and they used it all up in the desert.
The way it works is this: a box of 20 grenades is opened and 5 grenades are taken out, then the war ends, the remaining 15 grenades are not taken back to supplies, they are dumped. Aside from lost nukes in the sea, it makes you wonder how much stuff is dumped into the seas around the world.
