The sulfuric mixed with SALT water will form some hydrochloric acid fumes and by being diluted, it is also ionized. The metal from the barge will reduce the hydrogen ions to hydrogen gas. The whole mess could go BOOM and splatter acid all over the place. I wouldn't care to be downwind.

Makes one wonder if it wouldn't actually be better in the long run to dispatch an F-18... take it out with missile and burn up as much of the stuff as possible, before the buildup of hydrogen becomes too extreme?

OK... maybe a lousy idea, but it would make for some good TV. :-)
