The Mark 18 nuclear bomb , also known as the SOB or Super Oralloy Bomb , was an American nuclear bomb design which was the highest yield fission bomb produced by the US. The Mark 18 had a design yield of 500 kilotons . Noted nuclear weapon designer Ted Taylor physicist Ted Taylor was the lead designer for the Mark 18. Image Ivy King Blast.jpg thumb right 350px The Ivy King test firing of the Mark 18 SOB design The Mark 18 was tested once, in the Ivy King nuclear test at the Enewetak atoll in the Pacific Ocean . The test was a complete success at full yield. Description The Mark 18 bomb design used an advanced 92 point implosion system, derived from the Mark 13 nuclear bomb and its ancestors the Mark 6 nuclear bomb , Mark 4 nuclear bomb , and Fat Man Fat Man Mark 3 nuclear bomb of World War II . Its normal mixed uranium plutonium pit nuclear weapon fissile core pit was replaced with over 60 kg of pure highly enriched uranium or HEU. With a natural uranium tamper layer, the bomb had over four critical mass es of fissile material in the core, and was unsafe the accidental detonation of even one of the detonator triggers, would likely cause a significant many kilotons of energy yield explosion. An aluminum boron chain designed to absorb neutron s was placed in the fissile pit to reduce the risk of accidental high yield detonation, and removed during the last steps of the arming sequence. ref http nuclearweaponarchive.org Usa Weapons Allbombs.html Allbombs.html list of all US nuclear warheads at http nuclearweaponarchive.org nuclearweaponarchive.org .

The Walap is a traditional ocean going sailboat from the Marshall Islands . Image Walap from Jaluit Atoll, 1880.jpg thumb 200px right Walap from Jaluit Atoll, 1880 Image Walap anaglyph.JPG thumb 200px right use red blues glasses to see in 3D It belongs to the Micronesian proa type whose main characteristics are single main hull, outrigger mounted float ballast, and asymmetric hull profile. Walaps have a lee platform. Like all pacific proas, they are always sailed with the outrigger to windward, they do not tack but shunt reverse direction , so both ends of the boat are identical. The distinction between bow and stern depends only on the actual direction of the boat. Walaps are not dugouts, only the keel is made of a single bread fruit log when possible, and the rest are planks sewn together with coconut fiber lashings, sealed with tree sap. There are three main types of marshallese sailing canoes Korkor a small rowing sailing canoe used for fishing and transportation in the atoll lagoons. It has a crew of one or two. Used nowadays in very popular regattas. Tipnol a medium sized sailing canoe. Used for travel and fishing in the lagoons and short distance voyaging over open water. Minimum crew is two, may transport up to ten passengers. Walap a large, blue water sailing canoe, reaching up to 30 m in length and able to carry up to 50 people and food supplies. Used mainly for inter atoll voyaging. These types can vary in design, mainly slenderness of the hull, draft deep and hull profile asymmetry. Five recognized styles exist taburbur, malmel, mwijwitok, tojeik and jekad. Walaps may well represent the most advanced sailing technology of all stone age cultures, only equaled by Fiji s drua .
