    My father was here in 1946. Died of a massive tumor on his 63rd birthday...Atomic Veterans have never been properly recognized by the US government.

    It's almost poetic that the Nagato lasted the war, only to be sunk the way it was.

      Complete waste. I'd have rather it been a prize and maintained for tour. All things considered the Japanese made one helluva beautiful and powerful ship.

    On the AEC film I saw, the above water blast melted the blast side of some of the vessels and each deck was open to view, clear down to the water line! Then after, the below surface blast, the ships closest to the blast were gone! The 94 foot wave traveling however fast, was just too much force! Now they use torpedoes that explode under a ship and in doing so, the blast lifts the ship up out of the water, breaking it's keel. One torpedo, one ship!

      Well if they hadn’t they would have been scrapped. This was a better end.

      Would have been far better to have saved the Sara and used one of the newer Essex class carriers like the Yorktown, etc. She had far more of a real history.

      Not to mention pulluting the whole area for years to come. The native people of those islands got screwed!

    I wonder how much marine life perished in the blast?

      Not enough that it couldn't repopulate obviously...

    Ask the natives who were told not to worry when they blasted these bombs. Their families faced the aftermath of these tests.

    You need to do a bit more research and learn how to pronounce the ships name correctly because as far as i know there was never a ship named Prince Oinkgen, you also need to learn how to speak without the constant ers and ums. With my two gripes out of the way this was not a bad video and thank you for posting.
