In the heady days at the end of WWII, the United States was flush with national pride born from victory in Europe and the Pacific. Unfortunately, we were also loaded with tons of unused bombs, warhead and other exciting explosives that were piled up on the nations loading docks with nowhere to explode.

The U.S. Government, in 1946, didn't want to store ordnance for the next war, because who knows when that could be? And besides, whenever the next war starts, you've just got to buy all fresh bombs, otherwise why even have a Military Industrial Complex? So the solution was obvious! Dump it all in the ocean. In this case, dump it in the Gulf of Mexico right off the coast of Louisiana. Much of this dumping was charted. Some was not charted. It could be anywhere down there.

So why am I bringing this up now? Drill (BOOM!) Baby, DRILL (kaBLAM!)
