Operation Fishbowl - First Attempts

First Attempts

According to the initial plan of Operation Fishbowl, the nuclear tests were to be Bluegill, Starfish and Urraca, in that order. If a test were to fail, the next attempt of the same test would be of the same name plus the word "prime." If Bluegill failed, the next attempt would be "Bluegill Prime," and if "Bluegill Prime" failed, the next attempt would be "Bluegill Double Prime," etc.
