CONDENSATION CLOUD, CLOSER VIEW, TEST 

 ABLE. This closer view of the condensation cloud 

 shows ships of the target array silhouetted against 

 the brilliant backdrop that reaches thousands of 

 feet into the air. The vessels visible are those at 

 the edge of the target array. A portion of an 



island at the edge of the lagoon can also be seen, 

 its outline dark since the camera was set for^the 

 bright condensation cloud as its primary subject. 

 The shock wave itself is visible on the water's sur- 

 face in the form of a bright ring that has already 

 enclosed most of the target ships.
