Government sources offer conflicting claims about whether the Tybee Bomb was a complete device, or had only a simulated nuclear capsule.
I find hard to believe that the Navy would not have undertaken sufficient effort to recover the device — even if it did not have a nuclear capsule — unless the government have been using the device to bait a trap, or had decided that they wanted the bomb to come into possession of some foreign power.
