Other looks around the net for this story say about the same thing; all emphasize that it is alleged and not confirmed.

In a T2K context, how many of these Easter eggs are laying in wait all over the world? At whose command do they detonate? How many ports will be permanently put out of action? If they are that old, could they go off spontaneously -- or corrode out of action, and become a leaky, radioactive mess? Or a dirty bomb?

Or for the Bay of Naples, can their detonation cause an eruption of the supervolcano that's under the Bay of Naples?

How would these warheads be fused and detonated? Magnetically?

I would think that they'd be command detonated, perhaps from a long distance. (I'll have to check how deep the Bay of Naples is.)

See the 1977 movie Telefon http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076804/ (Charles Bronson, Lee Remick) for possible triggering agents.
