I saw a document someday ago about a US Tanker sunk by one these kamaikaze torpedoes at Saipan. The ship went down quite quickly with a huge part of her cargo. Some years ago, so more than 50 years after the events, a US Navy operation recovered the cargo, millions of avgas litres, which were remaining in the belly of the tanker at the bottom of the sea…(not very deep). I know also that fuel is still leaking from the BB Arizona at the bottom of PH bay. So there is still danger of sea pollution due to WWII , but fortunately it seems that, in some case, governments are concerned about this…
