According to CNN, the USAF and DOE are investigating the reported find of
the notorious Tybee Island Mk 15 that had been jettisoned by a B-47 after
its collision with a F-86 in 1958. A retired USAF LTC led the group that
has
found what is described as a large metallic object with radioactive
emissons. More accurately, what was lost was the bomb casing--the "pit"
had
not been installed in the weapon when it was dumped into the ocean.

Interesting post!

"An estimated 50 nuclear warheads, most of them from the former Soviet
Union, still lie on the bottom of the world's oceans, according to the
environmental group Greenpeace."

So, theoretically, anyone able to find them all and renovate them would be
the world's seventh leading nuclear power?
