      Did they find a 1950s lost nuclear carrier (rumour is that it is not actually a nuke but the framework of one with TNT in it) in Canada.

      Yup, but with no nuclear bomb and it located somewhere in the red circle not many people really care

      hrm... a sub on land might be easily gotten too...

      Just saying you "circled" some land there... 😛

      It was a human diver that found it, it was right off of the land.

            Yes... they "won" the bid by being the "lowest-cost solution"... $800,000 per shot... the original projected price was going to be $80,000, which obviously was just the right amount. Nope nothing wrong with that nothing to see here. The tech these were replacing ranged from $400-$1000 per shot. They weren't as accurate but that was never the point of them.

              They have a HUGE location ten minutes from where I grew up. Liverpool has a HUGE plant for them.

                  That'd put you in Liverpool more often than you should admit, because that means you should be coming out with me! 😛
