美国军舰于1944年沉没,载有约1,400吨弹药。位于泰晤士河口的这艘沉没的美国二战船只携带的未爆炸弹足以摧毁肯特海岸城镇并在伦敦掀起海啸,部长们宣布,该船已稍微安全了一些。

工程师已拆除“理查德·蒙哥马利号”的桅杆——这艘于1944年沉没、载有约1,400吨弹药的二战货轮——且未引发长期以来令该残骸受到持续警戒的那种担忧的爆炸。

Engineers have removed the masts of the SS Richard Montgomery – a second world war cargo ship that sank in 1944 with approximately 1,400 tonnes of munitions onboard – without triggering the kind of feared explosion that has kept the wreck under constant guard for decades.
