They are certainly not terribly far off shore. I keep looking at the Eaton's Neck site only because someone refers to it in print and because the mayor traveled out there for publicity footage. Seems like an area close enough to get him back into NYC in haste. I'm uncertain the Army Corps of Engineers would have that information, but it's worth a try. It would only take some idiot to think these were still being chased after by Lucky Luciano, for them to just become silent or seal communications. It could also be that these machines were dumped in areas where munitions and guns were dumped. I would think that other divers would venture an opinion or relate what they may have heard over the years.
I may check with NOAA, too.

I just checked the NOAA charts of the area and note a dumping area just north of Huntington Harbor and NW of Eaton's Neck. I recall both locations being mentioned in either one of the films or in some of the writing. There is also a notation that the bottom is scattered with wreck debris. The soundings are likewise, fitting to the historical information. These dumpings would have taken place in New York State waters, too, which means south of the Connecticut line in the middle of the Sound. I'd bet that's the target area.
