contaminated
Comes 80.177.49.33 to say "contaminated NOT decontaminated", and corrects the sentence to say:


 * "The "Baker" shot created a large condensation cloud and spread much more radioactive water onto the ships than was expected; many of the surviving ships became too "hot" to be used or contaminated and eventually had to be sunk."

The sense of the sentence is that the ships had become too contaminated to be used and too contaminated to be decontaminated (which process involves human work on the vessel), and they were therefore sunk, after various other ideas failed to remedy the situation. That is the correct sense of the sentence. SkoreKeep (talk) 15:06, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
