Summary[edit]

Description
English: "Operation Crossroads" target ship USS Skate (SS-305) gets underway on 3 July 1946, two days after the "Able" atomic bomb test. LCU-1078 and LCU-1461 are in the distance. Skate was one of the ships close to the detonation, which thoroughly mangled her superstructure. The hull, however, did not rupture.
