USS Arkansas (BB-33)

US dreadnought battleship (commissioned 1912) placed only about 230 m from the Baker blast and sunk within minutes on 25 July 1946; she lies nearly upside down on sand, with the dented hull top at about 26 m and the seabed at about 52–55 m. The 12-inch gun barrels are among the highlights. Residual radiation on the wrecks is described by the operator as negligible; the real risks are depth, decompression and the lack of a recompression chamber nearby. Do not eat locally grown food on Bikini (soil caesium).

Tiefe: 26–55 m
