Guinea Pig Fleet - Bikini Atoll Atomic Bombs Contaminate Fleet Docked at Treasure Island, San Francisco Bay - 1946

Nuclear fallout showers ships

The U.S. Navy exploded nuclear weapons at Bikini Atoll, deliberately destroying navy ships, some of which sank to the bottom of the Pacific ocean. Water infused with radioactive fallout coated the remaining ships with radioactive calcium, which could never be properly decontaminated after the Bikini tests. Some ships nonetheless returned to the San Francisco Bay Area.

A damaged radioactive Bikini test ship was used as a classroom for sailors, some of whom later expressed concern about radiation exposure.

summary: Nicholas Kane, then an Air Force lieutenant colonel, attended the radiological training school on Treasure Island (San Francisco Bay) in 1948. He described the training ship, the USS Independence, in a letter to his family: "It was scarred and twisted and misshapen from the atomic bomb tests at Bikini."
