What submersible craft recovered the hydrogen bomb that fell into the Mediterranean Sea during the Palomares hydrogen bomb incident?

Two submersibles were actually involved in the recovery of the Mk-28 weapon lost over the water near Palomares, Spain. The DSV Alvin located the weapon lost in the Mediterranean Sea in 1966. It found the weapon on March 17, but was dropped and lost when it was being raised. The Alvin submersible found the weapon again on April 2 at a depth of 880 meters. Then, another submersible, the unmanned torpedo recovery vehicle CURV-III attempted to raise the weapon on April 7. The weapon was raised, along with the CURV by the USS Petrel, and then taken back to the United States by the USS Cascade.

What year did we drop nuclear bombs on Spain?
No nuclear ordnance was ever used against Spain. You're probably thinking of the Broken Arrow incident in January 1966 over the Mediterranean, off the coast of Spain. A US B52G bomber collided with the KC135 tanker it was refueling from, causing extensive damage to the aircraft and the loss of four B28RI hydrogen bombs. Three landed on land, and it caused the non-nuclear explosives to detonate, which contaminated about a 3/4 square mile area with plutonium near the village of Palomares. The fourth went into the sea, and was recovered a couple months later.
If they take hydrogen from the air to use for fuel will it hurt the environment?
No, and yes. Taking hydrogen out of the air for fuel won't harm the atmosphere. But there isn't that much free hydrogen in air. And to get hydrogen out of air, it takes more energy than could possibly be recovered by using that hydrogen for fuel. The easiest place to get hydrogen is from water. We "crack" water into its constituent elements, hydrogen and oxygen, and let the oxygen go while collecting and compressing the hydrogen. But this, too, takes a lot of energy. And it isn't cost effective to do it. It takes a fair amount of electricity to get hydrogen for fuel, but over half the electricity we use comes from plants that are coal-fired. And they're pretty darn dirty, in spite of tight controls and constant stack monitoring (to look at emissions).
What is oil?
Oil is a liquid organic compound made up principally of hydrogen and carbon. Oil is generally divided into two categories - plant and animal oils recovered from living organisms (olive oil, etc.) and petroleum oil recovered from vast underground deposits. While some oil is used as fuel (bunker C, diesel, furnace oil), a large amount is used in the lubrication of moving parts.

How is solar energy stored and how is it recovered?
There are many different ways to store and recover solar energy. Plants store solar energy in the form of sugar. Energy is recovered from sugar by the process of metabolism. When people use solar energy to generate electricity, that electricity can be used to make hydrogen gas from water; the hydrogen can later be burned as fuel, to recover the energy. You can do lots of other things with solar energy as well. You can use it to pump water into an elevated tank, from which it can then flow over water wheel, driving a turbine. You can recharge batteries. You can compress air. You can rotate a flywheel. All sorts of storage mechanisms can be used.
Who created hydrogen?
how made hydrogen how made hydrogen how made hydrogen how made hydrogen
Is sea water renewable?
No. Trees and Plants are renewable, we can make more. We can not make more water, we will always have the exact same amount, unless a meteor, which contains small amounts of water, strikes the earth.
The hydrogen- 1and hydrogen- 2 is a what of the hydrogen?
You seem to be referring to isotopes of hydrogen.
What are the elements in hydrogen?
Hydrogen is an element. So the only element in hydrogen is hydrogen.
