Rich , if you are curious, this is what I did for many years. We carried four of these, each 10,000 lbs, 9 megatons. There were about 30 of us sitting alert at any one time and it was deadly serious business. Now these too are being dismantled. Probably for the better. As the commander , I personally crawled over and around each of these for acceptance.

Each of these had many more times the yield of the Hiroshima bomb.
