A Maine lobsterman pulled up a massive military rocket while checking traps some 20 miles offshore, police say.
The Maine State Police said its bomb squad analyzed the five-foot rocket on Tuesday and subsequently identified it as an MK29 Mod-0, a type of missile associated with sea-based launching systems.
"They said there was three to five pounds of explosives in the tip of it," Pease told WMTW. "It still should have been able to go off."Multiple ships associated with the United States Armed Forces can carry the MK 29 missile launching system, including Gerald R.
"Due to it's condition, the decision was made to countercharge the item with the guidance from Navy EOD Mobile Unit 12," the Maine State Police said in a press release. "The item was rendered safe and disposed of properly."
