Your right its Atomic Annie from Operation Upsot Knothole/Grable. But they do have an tactical nuke for a 155 mm cannon.

That is interesting. Any details on that?

I am asking because I have seen tactical nukes (they weren't strategic unless I have the definition wrong) and they were bombs that a carrier launched plane would have to carry.

They were way bigger than anything else ordnance-wise, no idea of the yield.

Something as small as a 155mm sounds extremely dangerous to handle and could easily fall into the wrong hands.
