Death in the deep - thank you U.S. Navy

>>From October 30 to November 1, there was a series of articles in the
Hampton Daily News about all of the chemical weapons - for example
mustard gas, that the U. S. Navy threw overboard from its vessels from
the late 1940s, until they stopped in 1972. They didn't dump this
stuff off only our own shores, of course, but around the world. And,
they no longer know where all this stuff is.
Many fishermen in Europe have apparently been injured by toxins
escaping from their deteriorating containers, and way back in '97 quite
a few dead dolphins washed ashore, their bodies burned as if by mustard
gas.
And I remembered an episode of Sea Hunt, from 1961, I think (10 years
before the US stopped the practice) of diver Leonard Nimoy getting sick
and dying thanks to exposure to some nerve gas underwater, having dove
to close to an underwater depository of the stuff. Prescient?
So I'm wondering, has this made front-page news anywhere else except
Hampton Roads? There are articles on the web, but I don't see any vast
outrage or even mention on google news or yahoo news...
