1945 Harry Truman had the Atomic Bomb dropped on Japan.You don`t need any frequency with that action,that was up there with the holocaust,but the world seems to separate the two acts of carnage.

I believe Japan had the largest battleships of ww2..the Yamato and her sister ship the Musashi. 65,000 tons, 72,000 tons full load. The Belfast was actually a light cruiser and not a destroyer, as indicated above. The U.S. Fletcher Class were the largest destoyers of ww2. The largest aircraft carrier of ww2 was the Japanese carrier Shinano approx 70,000 tons..she was sunk by a U.S. submarine 9 days into active duty.

Well I don't think it is right to drop nukes on anyone. However I also acknowledge that President Truman was facing at least 5 more years of war in the Pacific. Many more American and Japanese servicemen would have died. It is hard to say whether those death tolls would have topped Japanese casualties from the bombs. What always bothered me about Hiroshima and Nagasaki was that after seeing the power of the fist bomb the Emperor didn't surrender immediately, thus incurring a second attack. Understand this though, if it hadn't been for Japan those bombs might have been used some time later with much more staggering death tolls. So if nothing else it told us dropping nukes was something that shouldn't be taken lightly.\n\nOk EDINA we get it you don't like US Foriegn Policy. However you should really save that for the current Iraq debates, because whether you like it or not Japan attacked us, thus drawing us into WWII.  Oh and here's a clue for ya, they did it because they wanted grab up resources on all the pacific islands.

The atomic bomb named "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima by the Enola Gay, a Boeing B-29 bomber, at 8:15 in the morning of August 6, 1945 \n\nNote the spelling....

1) the US wanted to get the Japanese back for the bombing of Pearl Harbor\n\n2) the US wanted to intimidate the Soviet Union \n(because there were tensions between the US and the former Soviet Union and the US wanted to show the Soviet Union that it had a new, deadly weapon which the Soviet Union didn't have)\n\n3) Truman justified the dropping of the bomb by stating Japan would not surrender without an invasion that'd cause enormous loss of both American and Japanese lives. At least, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki...no American lives were lost (*rolls eyes*)\n\n\nThe bombing of Hiroshima came first (August 6, 1945), the US dropped the bomb in hopes Japan surrenders.\nSince Japan didn't surrender, 3 days later (August 9, 1945) the US dropped another atomic bomb on Nagasaki. \nJapan got the point, surrendered, and World War 2 was over.

Enola Gay, and Little Boy was the name of the bomb itself.\n\n"Little Boy was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare. It exploded approximately 1,800 feet over Hiroshima, Japan, on the morning of August 6, 1945, with a force equal to 13,000 tons of TNT. Immediate deaths were between 70,000 to 130,000.\n\nLittle Boy was dropped from a B-29 bomber piloted by U.S. Army Air Force Col. Paul W. Tibbets. Tibbets had named the plane Enola Gay after his mother the night before the atomic attack."

Hiroshima was the first Japanease city that was hit with an Atomic Bomb which ultimately led to the end of the War of course after we hit Nagasaki.  Even though those attacks are said to be brutal many agree that it saved millions of lives if we would have had to do a total land invasion of Japan.

On the morning of December 7, 1941, planes and midget submarines of the Imperial Japanese Navy issued a surprise attack on the US under the command of Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo. This attack brought the United States into World War II. At 6:00 a.m. on December 7th the six Japanese carriers launched a first wave of 181 planes composed of torpedo bombers, dive-bombers, horizontal bombers and fighters. The Japanese hit American ships and military installations at 7:53 a.m.. They attacked military airfields at the same time they hit the fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. Overall, twenty-one ships of the U.S. Pacific fleet were damaged and the death toll reached 2,400.

There are two basic types of atomic bomb. The gun type was used over Hiroshima and used U-235. The compression type is more common now and was used over Nagasaki and used Pu-239.

That my friend is probably true.  How many Japanese civilians were killed when Curtis Lamey ordered the firebombing of Japan.  Think about the two atom bombs dropped as well.  Justified in my opinion because of the casualties the Americans would have suffered if they had been forced to invade.  Had we lost most top leaders would have been beheaded.

An hydrogen bomb is a nuclear bomb--so is an atomic bomb.
