There have in recent years been some controversy over dangers posed to the environment by sunken ships, in terms of their cargo and fuel bunkers.
I haven't seen anything of this nature concerning the sunken Bismarck, but I believe there was a substantial quantity of oil still on board. Has any concern about this been expressed, does the oil pose any danger?
Has the actual quantity of oil on board been calculated?
