you're right there, iadom, that ship that had to return to port recently, apparently on the verge of the reactor blowing up, was a case in point. :eek:

The missing missiles have probably all been sold on the black market :(

Didn't the former-USSR lose like 25 nuclear bombs as well? I think it was discovered in the same accounting process as those missiles.

Sleep tight ;)
