Operation Crossroads, after Able detonation Nagato was heavily damaged, then in Baker test she sank and Prinz (who survived both nukes) was left too radioactive to be repaired so due to holes in the hull she also sank months later.
Saratoga was critically damaged during Able and sunk respectively in Baker test.
On a point of order, the US might not have either, but we, uh... didn't have another one.
Incorrect, sir. A third was being set up at Tinain with a schedule to be dropped August the 19th. Material was on hand for another 12 atom bombs with highlighted targets including Kyoto, Yokohama, Kokura, Niigata and Tokyo.
Tokyo and Kyoto were dropped, though, because the former had already been firebombed to shit and one of the generals honeymooned in the latter.
To be fair, though, what I was implying was that Fascist creatures will happily nuke surrendered opponents.
Depends on who lives and how long history has to be rewritten. Sometimes the losers write better generations later. Plenty of Southern authored history of the American Civil War over a century later.

I was under the impression that the third (or, well, fourth, if you count the Trinity device) would not be available until September. Been a while since I was current on those matters, though.
Yeaaah, true that... but I can't think of any other reason why Cliff Edge would put this in the pool otherwise though.
Yeah, that's exactly why I put it into the pool.
Dunno why it was removed, since images in the pool don't necessarily have to be "hilarious." The point of the pool is for unintentionally correct predictions -- in this case, WSG!Sara joining the Crossroads Trio before KC!Sara would make it a Crossroads Quartet.
How else would the losers write it? They're all dead.
But they're not. Hell, history has been retold by the loser of many wars. I can name two cases. The first case is the First Major film to ever be produced by Hollywood. It was titled The Birth of a Nation; the film is famous for causing a resurgence in the Ku Klux Klan, as it demonized the reconstruction period.
The other one is the denial of the Armenian Genocide. This is a very controversial topic in today's politics. This could be considered a precursor to what we now know as the Holocaust. Basically around long ass time ago there were a group of people called the Armenians. They conquered by the people we now know as the Turks. At the time they were actually rather tolerant of other ethnicities even if they weren't Muslims. However centuries later, Russia becomes a rival to the Turks and they even take a good chunk of Armenia. This splits the Armenians into two groups, the Russian Armenians and the Turkish Armenians. At this point the Turks have been losing more and more territory, so you can imagine that they'd be a little peeved at this.
Through in a Coups and WWI into the mix, and you've got all the justification need to carry out genocide to over a million people. A fact which the state of Turkey still denies to this very day, even after losing the war.
