Operation Crossroads was an attempt to better understand the effect of atomic weapons on naval targets.The first atomic bomb to be detonated in Operation Crossroads was code-named Able, and it was a plutonium bomb that exploded in the air over 80 unmanned target vessels in the Bikini Atoll lagoon on July 1, 1946. Able was part of a series of nuclear tests conducted that summer.

Baker, the next test, was detonated underwater and managed to displace tons of water that damaged 74 unmanned target ships. However, it released a radioactive mist that threatened to harm U.S. personnel working to decontaminate the area.The third detonation in the Crossroads series was canceled due to concern over radiation fallout from Baker.

While both Able and Baker involved unmanned target ships, some vessels were loaded with live animals. Hundreds of animals, including pigs, goats, and rats, were used to test the effects of nuclear bombs on animals.Able and Baker were the last nuclear weapons tests conducted by the Manhattan Project.
