„In this oblique view the condensation cloud, still in an early stage, is expanding on the heels of the air shock wave at over 700 miles per hour. A large ship appears as a tiny black speck in the air shock disk, the white area marking the outward sweep of the shock wave across the surface of the water.“ (zit. nach: William S. Shurcliff, Bombs at Bikini. The Official Report of Operation Crossroads, New York 1947, Tafel 26; siehe auch: William S. Shurcliff, Operation Crossroads.
