Study Effects.
In the meantime, Bikini lagoon
has been turned into vast labora-
tory of science, chief interest be-
ing the effect of the bomb and its
subsequent Pathological rays upon
the live animals placed aboard the
ships at various locations likely to
be occupied by the men aboard.
Amazingly, only about 10 per cent
of the animals were killed by the
force of the blast. Some are burned
and sick and others may become i'll
from effects Of radioactivity. As
matter of fact, few already have
been destroyed by medical doctors,
who are studying this phase of
atomic energy in an effort to deter
mine how this radioactivity can be
used in medicine in treatment of
| disease.

these powerful rays into their sys-

Estimate Losses.
A fleet such as those which COM
posed the target fleet would normal
ly carry approximately 10000 men.
| 1t is reasonable to assume then that
approximately 10 per cent, or 5000
men, would have been killed by the
atomic bomb blast and that more
would have been injured by radio
activity. Whether much of the dam
age to ships caused by subsequent
fires aboard could have been avert
ed had crews been aboard is a moot
question. Some ships captains de-
| clare that damage would have been
much less had the ship fire-fghting
equipment been brought into play,
| and this seems reasonable in that
most of the loss on the Independ-
ence was due to fire and explosion
and not the bomb blast.
There is no attempt however
on the part of naval authorities
to minimize the terrible power
of this atomic bomb. No other
single bomb ever did the dam
age to feet that this one did
=. five ships sunk, one COM
pletely out of commission and
approximately 10 others out of
action for two months or long
er, and small to negligible dam
age done to 10 others.
However another atomic bomb
likely would not find 70 ships to
make up a helpless ghost fleet
grouped conveniently like sitting
ducks and whether use of the atom
ic bomb as an offensive weapon of
naval warfare upon ships at sea
is militarily sound still is a debat-
ed question and one which the naval
evaluation board will study during
the next few weeks or months.
1t must be remembered that what
ever is said about this second bomb
test before the actual test is in the
realm of conjecture, and much of the
conjecture made prior to the first
test did not materialiZe.

Arkansas May Be Second Target Ship

the Saratoga, which suffered only
negligible damage in the first test,
is that her commander, Capt Don
aid MacMahon, knowing that she
was slated for the second target
ship made a wager with a friend in
Washington, before bringing the
ship to Bikini, that he would take
her back to the East coast under
her own power. 1t looks now that
he has better than a $3.50 chance
of winning his bet.
Browning chief., 1946-07-26

Target ship, or vessel nearest CEN
ter of the blast, for the second
atomic bomb test may be the over
age battleship Arkansas, it has been
indicated by reliable sources al
though no definite announcement
has been made by Adm. w. H. P.
Blandy, commander of operations

The carrier Saratoga was first
slated to be second target ship.
