The discovery of the\textlessem\textgreaterIndependence\textless/em\textgreaterwas not a surprise. Researchers have long known that in 1951, the U. S. military sank the warship in an area that is today known as the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, near California’s Farallon Islands.¹ The\textlessem\textgreaterIndependence\textless/em\textgreaterhad been contaminated with radiation in 1946 as part of Operation Crossroads, the United States’ first postwar nuclear weapons test
