Who was Helen of Bikini? It was not a who but a what, namely an atomic bomb detonated 90 feet beneath the surface of the Bikini lagoon on July 25, 1946 to test the effect nuclear weapons had on surface vessels. It sank 10 ships — including two battleships and an aircraft carrier. Radioactive spray permanently contaminated most of the others involved.
