Really? Having studied this subject in some depth (but more so the US history of "lost nukes") I would be very surprised there were any weapons in UK waters. Were these ones you mention complete weapons or training dummies? Were they dropped deliberately, dumped in emergency or lost in crashes?
Published information on UK "Broken Arrows" and the like is mainly about fender benders on road convoys. I've never heard about a lost UK weapon, even a dummy.
On the other hand, I can tell you where to find a complete US Navy B43...
