The US Military Set Off a Nuke Underwater... And It Went Horribly Wrong! #Shorts #History #MilitaryAdded:
In 1946, the US military set off a nuke underwater to see what would happen, and it went very badly. You see, the Navy was trying to prove that their ships could survive a nuclear explosion. So, they lowered the bomb 90 ft in the water and put their ships over it. The LSM-60 was right above the bomb, and it was completely pulverized. Other ships sank right away, and the extreme radiation destroyed any remaining ships.
