Question

Why do they keep our nuclear weapons under water?

Answer 1

to keep them cool.

just like water keeps your car engine cool.

water absorbs a lot of heat.

hey, that's interesting -- i'd never thought about it before.

nuclear missles would also have a heat problem.

and they must have had water circulate through them to keep them cool.

thanks for asking.

Answer 2

and destroy everything
