I'm wondering somethings here, in case one. Why move the ship at all. Why not decon on site? I remember from my NJROTC days that on Nuclear fallout being most of your contaminates are on the outside. You simply flood the decks with water, to wash it off . With Nuclear contamination your not neutralization it at all, just moving it off you and your equipment.

So being San Francisco is contaminated, why not import firefighting tugs and their crew from else where, like oakland, etc?

What are the decon methods for ships, and citys?

Having gone to NBC school in the US Army, I know their methods.

I'm thinking of a dredge, instead of hitting the bottom, it would suck up the water, and plastic. It would have to be a medium sized ship, and contain a Thermo-Depolymerization unit on board to change the plastic in to oil. Then everyonce in awhile a tanker would need to pull up along side, to transport this oil. Could use solar, and this oil to power this ship. Basic needs would need to be taken care of.

I'm thinking that it is an airplane or two moving though the clouds, waves in the cloud maybe from a shockwave from the airplane?
