The Tybee Island B-47 crash was an incident on February 5, 1958, in which the United States Air Force lost a (3.8MT yield) Mark 15 hydrogen bomb (serial number 47782) in the waters off Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia, United States. During a practice exercise, the B-47 bomber carrying the bomb collided in midair with an F-86 fighter plane.
The Goldsboro B-52 crash was an incident on January 24, 1961. A B-52 Stratofortress carrying two (2.5MT yield) Mark 39 hydrogen bombs broke up in mid-air near Goldsboro, North Carolina, United States, dropping its nuclear payload in the process. One bomb descending by parachute landed intact with its parachute entangled in a tree. The second bomb's parachute failed and it plunged into a marshy field at around 700 miles per hour (310 m/s) and disintegrated without detonation of its conventional explosives, a few pieces were later recovered but much remains in the marsh unrecovered.

∙ 9y agoYes, there is a lost nuclear bomb underwater in America.
In 1959, a United States Air Force (USAF) jet crashed into a USAF B-47 bomber which had a 7,000lb nuclear bomb on board.
Luckily the impact didn't trigger a nuclear explosion. However the nuclear bomb was dropped into the water off the coast of the state of Georgia and has never been recovered despite searches for it.
