They for sure love to abbreviate things in the US(sic).

Somewhere between 45 and 60 ships with about 300 000 tons of tabun, sarin, fosgen, mustardgas and so on are located on the seabed in the Baltic and North Sea.
I believe there is a spot off the Canadian cost where they dumped tons of Mustard gas and other nasties after the war had finished. Plenty of live ammo as well tossed over the side as well. (here in Australia as well)

As for the oil. there have been some programs to deal with this (The Royal Oak is one that comes to mind)

Interesting. I read the book Shadow divers a while back, it kinda got me interested in WW2 wreck diving. Does anyone know of any other good 'essential' similar books, don't have to be about WW2 wrecks necessarily.

The official language of Washington DC is not English, it's Acronym.
