Military Consultant Jeff McCausland gives us an update on Navy ship and Nuclear Bombs

NAVY SHIP~Twenty-one people have suffered minor injuries in an explosion and fire Sunday on board a ship at Naval Base San Diego.

Officials said about 160 sailors and officers were on board – far fewer than the thousand typically on the ship when it’s on active duty.

NUCLEAR BOMBS~ 75 years ago this coming Thursday, the United States conducted the first ever nuclear explosive test in New Mexico. Three weeks later, the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
