And how many of the size that rocket boy is suggesting?

The top-end estimate of the yield of Fat Boy's latest nuke is 250 kilotons.

The biggest bomb the US ever set off was the Castle Bravo shot in 1954, 15 megatons -- 60 times bigger than Lil Kim's bomb. We set off a bunch in the 2 to 10 megaton range.

Sure... but how many of these were set off in the water? Castle Bravo was on Namu Island, no?
