which was live and keeps it in his boat for ten days before having it
disarmed.

Yeah - that's what I'd do - nothing like carrying a live missile
around in your boat just for laughs. :).

SW Tom would rig it up and tow it as a troll bait. :)

"The bomb squad said the missile was very corroded from floating in
sal****er for a long time. They said it was live and in a very
unstable state."

I didn't know those things could float?

I wonder who got chewed on for losing live gear?

But then again, I always thought that they did train with live
ordinance for weight, but they weren't armed. either way it's not a
good situation

The father of one of the members of my fishing club ran a big dragger
out of Point Judith during WWII. He tells the story of his Dad
running out one evening to run the beach from there to Westerly for
flounder. It was getting dark and making his final pass back towards
Pt. Judith about a mile out when he heard a thud - looked around,
didn't see anything and continued his run.

Pull in the dragline, boards come on board, net comes onboard and
there's this shiny thing in it - a torpedo.

It wasn't one of ours either. :)

Started the hunt for a German sub - according to the story, it might
have been the one they sunk off Newport South Beach two days later.

Could have been a failed rocket engine too.

Couple years ago at most. Last year I think. They found a live torpedo
under the Piller Point fuel dock.

Great place to find a torpedo.

And could have been a really old Sidewinder. I made shipping crates for
them in my teen years at a pallet company I worked for summers. And that is
51 years ago.
