Several nuclear weapons have been lost over the decades. There's one off the shore of Georgia that's never been found, one in Puget Sound, and a couple more. If you count submarines, there's also the wreckage of the Scorpion which contains two unrecovered nuclear warheads.



Holy guacamole. Hey Mike, do you (or anyone else) have links to save me searching? Thanks in advance! Morbid fascination/curiosity...


I double-checked my memory by going here and doing a cmd-F on "lost," "weapon," "warhead," and such:

This includes a lot more than just incidents where weapons were lost, but that may be a feature for you rather than a bug.


Thanks Mike...
