Unbelievable: Bikini Atoll Nuclear Carrier – Still Standing After 80 Years In The Deep

Unbelievable: Bikini Atoll Nuclear Carrier – Still Standing After 80 Years In The Deep
In the summer of 1946, during the intense "Operation Crossroads" nuclear tests, the mighty aircraft carrier USS was deliberately subjected to the unimaginable force of an atomic bomb at Bikini Atoll. She sank, becoming a radioactive, submerged tomb, and for over 80 years, she has rested in one of the most historically significant, yet dangerous, underwater sites on Earth.

This is the ultimate test of survival. Using specialized deep-sea ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles), our Under The Sea team ventures into the highly restricted, contaminated waters of the Marshall Islands to locate and explore this colossal wreck. What we find defies belief.

Despite being slammed by the air and water shockwaves of two atomic blasts, the ship's massive structure—including its towering island and flight deck—remains astonishingly intact and upright on the seafloor. This underwater exploration takes you inside the heavily corroded hangars and across the bomb-scarred flight deck, where history is preserved in stunning, yet haunting detail. Witness the unique marine life that has colonized this "ship of steel and ghosts."

Join us as we document this unbelievable feat of engineering resilience and explore the silent, radioactive graveyard that holds the true legacy of the Atomic Age.
