Soviet navy 'left 20 nuclear warheads in Bay of Naples'

#6  No doubt quite useless. I wonder whether the nuclear materials, if actually there and if eventually exposed by corrosion, would actually pose much risk. I speculate that they would be solids that would corrode slowly if at all and would be buried in sediments that would mitigate dispersion of the corrosion byproducts.

Even if they did exist, and I doubt it, after 25 years without maintance they would be no doubt quite useless.

#2  Not impossible, but highly inprobable. For one thing, we have (and had) much better seabottom recovery capabilities than the Soviets. And they did *not* like to leave things around where US intelligence might get their hands on them.
