Makes me wonder how many weapons the other nuclear-armed nations have lost and not recovered. Like the US, Russia has thousands of them, and had tens of thousands more during the cold war. How many of them went missing?

Probably two for every lost submarine, at least two subs with two nuclear torpedos each.

The US had Operation Chrome Dome shuffling them around by air.
