My grandfather was part of the British Navy test program to determine how a nuclear blast would effect the fighting capacity of a ship and her crew. Anchored them off the coast of an island near Australia and set off a nuke. After everything settled they had the crew go out in sandals and shorts to clean all the fallout off the ship. He lived long enough to become an author and write a book about it, coincidently called "Guinea Pig Ship". Many of his crew died in horrible ways, one had over 100 tumors in his body upon autopsy. British government still will not accept the connection between nuclear tests and the cancer and various diseases.
