And the nukes are a lot bigger now ...
One of the ships in that photo was the USS Prinz Eugen (war prize given to us by the Brits).
It survived TWO nuke tests, and, then was towed to Kwajalein Atoll. It stayed there for a few months, but, as no one could go on board due to the radiation, it finally deteriorated until it capsized and sank.
It’s still sticking up in the lagoon, and, safe enough to dive on now.

For some reason, I can’t copy the image, but the shadow on the right side of the waterspout is a ship, standing on its fantail....
