Search up the "Devil's Sphere"... It's just a plutonium core, composed of 2 hollow graphite hemispheres, over a solid core of weapons grade plutonium... The hemispheres are kept apart so that the radioactive particles from the plutonium sphere can keep escaping from the gap between the hemispheres... There have been 2 instances where the braces keeping the 2 hemispheres were accidentally removed and the hemispheres clamped together completely... The core IMMEDIATELY went critical as the neutrons had nowhere to escape, and the chain reaction started... Fortunately they were separated both times within seconds, but still went almost super critical, and killed many people within the room... Similarly, blowing up a nuke before it explodes doesn't guarantee that it would destroy the "sequence" of events... More than likely it will just push the core to its supercritical stage in an instant... Remember the nuclear grade plutonium and uranium are both EXTREMELY sensitive to their conditions... And even just covering them with anything can start a chain reaction that may send them to supercritical stage within a couple of minutes...

I was on a US Navy Destroyer Escort in the ‘70’s. We purposefully went into a storm in the North Sea. The waves were absolutely unimaginable! At times the ship felt like it was a sub. The bridge was underwater wave after wave! Looking out the front glass at the bow all you could see was water! As the water cleared away all you could see was clouds in the sky. The whole ship would shudder as it slammed into the next wave. As the ship crested each wave the prop would cavitate… meaning the prop was out of the water because the ship was balanced on the top of a huge wave about to “surf” down the rear face of that wave. The prop was spinning but not grabbing any water. It always made a gut wrenching vibration. As you tried to walk down the gangway the ship would roll to unbelievable angles. You could literally have one foot on the deck and the other on the bulkhead (wall). Then it would roll back the other way. The worst of the storm lasted 4-5 days. There was no cooking of food on board for those days. They rationed out dry grub and liquids to stay hydrated. The mess decks were empty. Trays wouldn’t stay on tables. There were a lot of sea sick sailors for those days. We had to tie ourselves into our racks(beds) so as not to get thrown out as the ship rolled. Every item, large or small had to be secured down otherwise they became a flying projectile. Very scary at the time. But as the seas calmed down… what an adventure!! Thanks to our US Navy. God bless them all. What a job.

The Navy actually did tests on this back in the 50s and 60s. Nuclear weapons were not found to be an effective anti-fleet tool either as an air dropped bomb or torpedo.

I didn’t know a 30 megaton nuclear warhead could fit inside a duffel bag. Scientists must’ve done a lot of work to make a 30,000 pound device turn into a 30 pound device. Edit: I’m aware of the fact that those numbers have no correlation nor am I suggesting yield and weight are connected. I’m just referring to old bombs. The largest weapon detonated by the United States was castle bravo and the nuclear device weighed 23,500 pounds. Today you could get the same yield from a device that weighs around 2,000 pounds (again a rough estimate) or even smaller, we are talking about a 15 megaton device so it’s hard to say really. Most modern bombs don’t produce a yield that high at least on the American/NATO spectrum.

[@NukeMyHouse]

Not really. There was no mega wave like what was depicted - nearby ships got rained on by radioactive foam, but nothing as intense as seen here. The main damage to boats irl is from the underwater shockwave causing sections of the hull to collapse and then causing the ship to capsize.

Ww2 ships could be destroyed with a single torpedo or bomb compared to a modern ship which is much more resistant to critical explosion. The decks were made of wood with the exception of British carriers. During midway 3 carriers of japans were destroyed in 15 minutes. One hit and that wood deck goes up in flames and ignited thousands of gallons of fuels and other explosives. Depending on how skilled the crew was at controlling these fires determined how much a ship could take. American crews were excellent at damage control while japan was not and even destroyed their own ships after fires started. Japan’s mobile strike force the dominant naval force on the planet that had conquered most of Asia was destroyed in a single morning that shows how vulnerable these carriers with wood decks were.

If anyone here is reading the comments I invite you to check out the 80's docu drama THREADS which is the most brutal factual film about how screwed we would be as a country had Russia launched a nuclear attack. What I like about it is that it lays down facts and figures of civil defense, casualties local government responses and the aftermath without being accused as Propaganda for being pro or anti war. Just lays down how society would cope before/during/after an attack in the UK.

Watch the real stuff instead. What happened to Japan's Hiroshima, the facts and figures, real recorded clips post detonation and fall out, hospital records, casualties and responses, the aftermath and all that along with how the population coped after the American attack on innocent civilians prompted by Japan's wartime attack on active military base in Pearl Harbor.

[@NightRunner417]

The whole thing is borked as fuck. The water mass absorbs all the energy of the shockwave. First, the initial detonation cavitates the water but that only lasts for a split second. Then the radiant pressure forces the water upward and also outward in a spreading subsurface wave. It presents as an initial upward surge, a bit of a pause, and then a huge blossoming flower of water flying upward and outward in white. There is little to no air disturbance in the real thing so even the silly wobble-flight was indeed silly and wouldn't have happened. Neither would the black hole effect in the water. Just a massive upward blast of water and a tidal wave spreading outward. You can look up real footage and see for yourself, and you'll notice there's NO airborne shockwave in the underwater tests. For your amusement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5W6fZ6vgreZl7c
