|
|
|
Types of nuclear explosion |
High altitude air burst, surface burst, deep underwater burst |
|
|
|
High altitude air burst |
Occurs at altitudes in excess of 100,00 ft with ionosphere disruptions and EMP |
|
|
|
Surface burst |
The worst fallout due to the fire ball touching the surface which results in massive radioactive fallout |
|
|
|
Shallow underwater burst |
A small fireball and blast wave however, it causes large waves and contamination |
|
|
|
Deep underwater burst |
Similar to the shallow underwater burst but with less visual effect and yields greater contaminated water |
|
|
|
Ready shelter stations |
Inside the weather envelope, with access to deep shelter. Provide minimum shielding from nuclear radiation and allow the crew to remain close to battle stations |
|
|
|
Deep shelter stations |
Low in the ship and near the centerline. They provide maximum shielding from nuclear radiation, often requiring personnel to be far removed from battle stations |
|
|
|
