> You'd need a nuclear-level explosion

Yup.

...I mean, come on. After the last five years, it wouldn't even be the craziest thing to happen.

I admit, fallout could be a problem though, especially with all the other ships in close proximity.

A nuclear explosion probably would damage the canal itself. But its said that USS LSM-60's pieces were never found again...

Just 170 yards away was USS Arkansas, a battleship. The hull mostly survived (though was deformed and melted).


Build a huge cover all around the ship, plant the nuke under the keel, boom we have a splash and the ship evaporates , canal is deeper and wider there
