At one time it was not unusual to take outdated or surplus munitions out to sea and dump them.
Coastal charts still have warning areas marked, where sailors are directed NOT to drop anchor, bottom troll or drag.
Of course, simply dropping it overboard does not make it evaporate.
I concur with WP, but again the dense white smoke is the key indicator.
