Testing an insta 360 on the USS Saratoga in Bikini Atoll.

Nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll and specifically the baker test in 1946, aimed to investigate the effects of an underwater explosion on a simulated enemy fleet at anchor. A 23-kiloton device was placed 27 m under the surface in the NE of the lagoon and surrounded by 75 surplus vessels from WWII.

These ships were filled with fuel oil and ammunition to simulate real world conditions. 12 of these vessels were sunk, including the wreck from this video, USS Saratoga a 36,000 ton aircraft carrier.
