| Title | Unrecovered Radioactive Material |
| Event Description | On January 25, 2005, a U.S. Navy CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter executed a forced water landing and subsequently sank off of the Virginia Cape Operations area. An in-flight safety feature onboard the aircraft, containing approximately 3500 microCuries of Strontium-90, sank with the helicopter. The U.S. Navy is planning on recovering the aircraft (and sources) when the weather becomes more amenable to recovery operations.
