    $\begingroup$ So that much radiation makes it not exactly secret. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 18, 2025 at 3:36
  • $\begingroup$ @MontyWild it's the ocean, not a bathtub. It doesn't stay in one place for long and the place it is in for a short time is not accessible. Seems common sense to me. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 18, 2025 at 9:42

    $\begingroup$ The trouble is that failing to eliminate every person on the target vessels immediately would leave bodies or survivors with the unmistakable signs of radiation sickness, and the vessels themselves would also be highly irradiated. While the bodies might eventually disappear, the sunken vessels, or more critically, any that were exposed but not sunken, would be a give-away. $\endgroup$ Commented Dec 18, 2025 at 11:03
