Operation CHASE
Operation CHASE (Cut Holes and Sink 'Em) was a United States Department of Defense program that involved the disposal of unwanted munitions at sea from May 1964 into the early 1970s.〔Kurak, Steve "Operation Chase" ''United States Naval Institute Proceedings'' September 1967 pp. 40-46〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.epa.gov/region4/foiapgs/readingroom/camp_lejeune/trianadoc21a.pdf )〕
The disposal program involved loading old munitions onto ships which were then slated to be scuttled once they were up to 250 miles off shore.〔〔Mauroni, Al. "(The US Army Chemical Corps: Past, Present, and Future )", ''Army Historical Foundation''. Retrieved 26 November 2007.〕 While most of the sinkings involved ships loaded with conventional weapons, there were four which involved chemical weapons.〔 The chemical weapons disposal site was a three-mile (5 km) area of the Atlantic Ocean between the coast of the U.S. state of Florida and the Bahamas.〔Wagner, Travis. "Hazardous Waste: Evolution of a National Environmental Problem", ((Project Muse )), ''Journal of Policy History'', 16.4 (2004) pp. 306-331. Retrieved 26 November 2007.〕 The CHASE program was pre-dated by United States Army disposal of 8000 tons of mustard and lewisite chemical warfare gas aboard the scuttled SS ''William C. Ralston'' in April 1958.〔〔Kraft, James C. "The Last Triple Expander" ''United States Naval Institute Proceedings'' February 1977 p. 67〕 These ships were sunk by having Explosive Ordnance Demolition (EOD) teams open seacocks on the ship after arrival at the disposal point.〔 The typical Liberty ship sank about three hours after the seacocks were opened.〔
