World War II-Era ‘Earthquake Bomb’ Explodes in Polish Waters
No divers were hurt, but certainly couldn't have been fun for any nearby fish.

The article incorrectly identifies Lützow as the target of the bomb, but since she was sold to the Soviets in 1940, it is likely the author meant Admiral Scheer, which escaped Swinoujscie (then Swinemünde) in 1945 carrying refugees and was destined to be lost at Kiel.
