I saw an experiment concluding that this could sink ships on the discovery channel a year ago.
They didn't use a beaker they used a wave pool and scale model ship. They released air bubbles underneath the ship and increased the rate until the ship sank.
Sounds like these idiots are late and low tech to something that has already been done.

Saw something on Discovery Channel about a week ago about this very topic.
Utterly fascinating how this works. Discovery channel showed how the process worked, then had film of the ships located at the bottom of the sea. Some of the ships/boats they showed had been there less than 2 years. The pictures were so vivid, you could see the boats names, and the insides of some of these cruisers were virtually undisturbed even after sinking to the ocean floor.

Hmmm. I can see this as a potential boost to the beef/dairy industry. Maybe all subsurface ships will begin carrying a couple hundred head of cattle to spontaneously generate methane to be used as a weapon. Let's designate this system as the CF-22 (Cow Flatulence) warhead.
