Zuni.

This is coolbert:

Probably still lethal!!

"Maine lobsterman pulls up 5-foot military rocket in trap"

Courtesy WBZ-NEWS STAFF | APRIL 13, 2023 CBS BOSTON.

"CUSHING, Maine -  A Maine lobsterman threw out his traps, looking to catch some lobster, but instead pulled up something very unexpected."

Apparently this is an unexploded Zuni 5 inch [127 mm] rocket as in the inventory [?] of the U.S. Navy. A considerable amount of war-making bang stuff. Warplanes equipped and using an array of such rockets in combat becoming flying artillery!

"Cameron Pease [the lobsterman] was on his boat about 20 miles off the coast when he found a five-foot military rocket tangled in his ropes. He brought it to shore and contacted police the next day."

Weapon now destroyed! Cameron can consider himself lucky he was not blown to bits.

Dig further this amazing stuff:

"In January 2023, the United States announced that it would be supplying 4,000 Zuni rockets to the Armed Forces of Ukraine for use in the Russo-Ukrainian War."

Yet one more weapon first developed in the 1950's enters the Ukraine Conflict. At least we are not yet at the bow and arrow stage of development.
