49 kt · 1948 · Enewetak Atoll · 3 Hiroshimas

The U.S. Navy's documentary record of Operation Sandstone (1948), covering the fleet support, instrumentation ships and diagnostic photography for the X-Ray, Yoke and Zebra shots at Enewetak.

One of several service-specific films of the same series — the military filmed these tests exhaustively from every institutional perspective. The Enewetak islanders remained in exile on Ujelang throughout.
