they can’t even keep track of their own weapons, and they are going to find all the enriched uranium in Iran.

I'm just as concerned over the Goldsboro Broken Arrow of 1961. They know exactly where it is, but they are unable to retrieve it. It landed in a farmer's field. Never heard a good explanation of that. Then there's the USS Scorpion also—two warheads. The USS Thresher still holds nuclear fuel. Others?

The Savannah loss happened on February 5, 1958, a US Air Force B-47 bomber collided with an F-86 fighter jet near Savannah, Georgia, resulting in the loss of a 7,600-pound Mark 15 nuclear bomb. To safely land, the pilot jettisoned the weapon into the Wassaw Sound near Tybee Island. It dug into many feet of silt and has not been located. It was not armed. The Air Force officially said the bomb was equipped with a simulated 150-pound lead core, not the plutonium needed for a nuclear explosion, making it incapable of a nuclear blast. If it had been armed, they would have looked for the thing until it was found. And even if it was, it is very difficult to explode a nuclear device. It doesn’t work like lighting a fuse on dynamite like in the TV westerns.
