USED CAR, ABOARD NEVADA. This ruined two 

 and one-half ton Army truck is on the stern of the 

 bullseye ship "Nevada." The bomb exploded 1500 

 to 2000 feet west of the ship, and the shockwave 

 struck "Nevada" on her stern quarter. Even at this 

 range the light gage metal of which the truck is 



built was quickly turned into the crumpled wreck 

 shown. A member of the Army Ground Group 

 checks damage, using forms prepared before the 

 tests to insure thorough reporting of data. In addi- 

 tion "before" and "after" photographs were made 

 of all equipment exposed.
