  • You wouldn't really have time to be worried if it went off would you.

    Who else thinks it looks like a giant dangerous looking goldfish?

  • Who wants to be workin on that thing?

  • Your opinion is very interesting. Thanks!

  • @atomo1946 That may not be paint, it might be some type of sealant coating the seams in the covering of the bomb, to protected the explosives inside from corrosive sea air. That's just a guess.

  • Why they painted the bomb?
