From Wikipedia:
Many in the U.S. Military were surprised the Snark, due to its dubious guidance system, was ever operational.
In flight tests many were lost. A missile launched in 1956 went so far off course that it landed in
North-Eastern Brazil,[8] where it was found in 1983.[9] Many of those connected with the program commented in
jest "That the Caribbean was full of 'Snark infested waters'."[10
