ABOARD USS APPALACHIAN
OPERATIONS CROSSROADS. -
Second or Baker test of the atomic
bomb in Bikini lagoon, now tenta-
lively set for July Is, will be like
dynamiting fish in a pond.
Lacking will be the glamour OF
the army air force and precision
bombing as the whole thing will be
q navy show. The bomb will be
submerged some rs feet beneath
the surface in about 30 fathoms Of
water, 180 feet, and detonated in the
midst of the target fleet, which is
being regrouped to meet new con-
ditions of the test.
This second test also will lack the
drama of the bomb burst and the
atomic cloud, which is characteris-
tic of atomic bombs exploded in air.
What is likely to happen is that the
intense heat will generate steam in
the water and the terrific force will
expend a part of its energy in a
waterspout with a cloud of steam
and vapor shooting into the air. In
tent of this test is to measure force
of atomic energy upon the hull
structure of naval ships spaced at
various distances from the center
of the explosion.
Subs to Submerge.
There will not be the visible dam
age which was inflicted wholly upon
the topsides or superstructures as in
the first blast. Since there is to be
no ship placed directly above the
point of blast, the prediction is be-
ing made freely that no capital ships
will be sunk, although lighter craft
may be capsized. Another feature of
the second blast is the placing of
submerged submarines in the target
fleet, and it will be interesting to
note the effect of the bomb force
upon the steel hulls of these YES
sells beneath the water.
Naval scientists predict that
force of the underwater blast
will create waves of sufficient
height, possibly 10 or more feet
which will sweep over low-lying
Bikini island, although this was
also forecast in the first blast
and did not materialize.
Meantime, endless arguments pro-
ceed as to the degree of damage to
the ships, the location of the bomb
burst, whether the drop from the
plane was near MISS" probable
loss of life had the ships been
manned with full complement, and
comparative efficiency of this first
Bikini bomb as compared to the
bombs at Alamogordo, Hiroshima
and Nagasaki.
Precision Bombing.
When it is considered that this
bomb was dropped from a height of
something like six miles and hit
within a l,000-yard circle, this re-
porter would consider that pref
ty good precision bombing.
Adm. T. A. Solberg of the bu-
reau of ships, however, declared
that insofar as he could Judge,
every ship damaged by the
bomb, with the exception of the
independence, could be put into
fighting shape within two or
three months.
For the Independence, battered
and ripped apart by explosions OF
her own torpedoes, her ammunition
and aviation gasoline and burning
for almost two days, it would take
