On December 5, 1965, a U.S. Navy A-4 Skyhawk attack plane, equipped with a 1-megaton B-43 nuclear bomb, crashed in the Philippine Sea as the aircraft carrier USS Ticonderoga, was sailing to Yokosuka, Japan, after having conducted a bombing mission in Vietnam.

The plane was being taken to an elevator, when the crew on deck noticed that the plane was descending and waved for the pilot to apply the brakes. The pilot, Lieutenant Douglas Webster, did not see the wave, and the plane, the nuke, and the young lieutenant, sank into the sea.

The pilot, the plane, and the nuke sank to a depth of 15,000 feet, were never found, and are there to this day, at the bottom of the sea, 80 miles from Japan.

The U.S. Navy covered up the accident for almost 25 years, and when the authorities in Japan learned about it, they banned the United States from bringing nuclear weapons into their territory.
