Summary
| Description |
English: The array of target ships in Bikini lagoon for the Able shot of Operation Crossroads. The five red X's mark the five ships that sank. The tables (left) contain the key to ship numbers. The circle, with a radius of 1,000 yards from the point of detonation, outlines the area of serious ship damage. The intended bulls-eye for the bomb was ship #32, the battleship Nevada, which was painted red to aid the bombardier. The bomb landed closer to ship #5, the attack transport Gilliam. All submarines were on the surface. |
