boil steam to drive turbines which drive the sub (which is the usual
propulsion method in nuclear submarines) and submarines carrying
nuclear weapons (usually missiles). SSBNs are almost always nuclear
powered but carry nuclear missiles as opposed to SSNs which refers
only to the propulsion system.
SSNs carry Tomahawks. Look up TLAM-N.
Tomahawks have a much shorter range and smaller payload capacity than
the strategic missiles carried by SSBNs. The nukes on Tomahawks are
"tactical" warheads, not city killers.
Hiroshima was 15kt. It doesn't take much.
That bomb was barely functional and did not begin to realize
its power but still was a horror unleashed on a largely wooden city
and totally unsuspecting citizens. Read last "Train from Hiroshima"
by the way it went to Nagasaki. The Nagasaki bomb functioned better
but was mistargeted. Still horrible times for the populations.
But it has some descriptions of the hell world after the bombing
that are more vivid than the descriptions in the next item.

About Hiroshima there is a classic manga by a young man who
survived as a child protected by a stone wall from a blast that
evaporated his teacher standing by.
"Gen of Hiroshima", "Barefoot Gen", and "I saw it" are some of
titles used but Keiji Nakazawa, recently deceased was the author. He
lost his whole family. His father was very unpopular because of his
out-spoken pacifism and i believe that Keiji Nakazawa has a particular
POV. Gen was widely translated and distributed by the anti-nuclear
and peace movements.
Its a member of a fairly small list of books and films about the actual
effects of nuclear war, as opposed to using one to set up a Mad Max type
scenario.

I have seen watched it once and have a file of it here.
The manga goes on from the end of the film and
it runs to 12 volumes. Whenever I see volume 1 at the
SFPL-main I will pick it up and begin to re-read the
story, I have read it at least twice and if I had more
money and more room I would have my own set.Threads
The War Game
The Day After
I think I have seen this on late night TV. Not too
impressive. It might be time to tranlate "Last Train
from Hiroshima" from text into a Live Action film with the
special effects now available.
