The second atom bomb was dropped on Japan August 9, 1945, this one destroying Nagasaki after the first hit Hiroshima with horrible effect. Was this enough to get Japan to surrender?
We ( of the USS Pickens) were still preparing for the invasion and , as I remember it, were not much changed by the first bomb but began to hope after the second. How many bombs did we have? Only a few people knew; Japanese leaders did not know but what we had dozens or more.
