I wonder if anyone has an estimate of the amount of oil/gas that ended up in the oceans from WWII? I know it had to be in the millions of gallons as naval vessels carry a lot of fuel oil, aviation fuel etc.
And then I wonder where it all went?
This Greenie paper acts like it is all still down there in the sunken hulls, a ticking environmental time bomb.
Just a wild guess, but after being torpedoed and or bombed, then burning, then probably having any empty compartments implode on the way to the bottom, I seriously doubt if much oil is left inside the wrecks.
Oil floats, folks! That trapped inside compartments would have provided long ago a feast to nutrient starved bacteria on the ocean floor.
Look what they do to iron.

“Iron-Eating Bacteria is Giving Titanic Rustcicles Which Will Recycle Ship by 2030”
A brief scan of the paper seems to show that the author is trying to set up a liability case against the deep pockets governmental owners of these sunken ships.
