Naval History Quiz

In the pre-Atomic era, what 325,000 ton ship was blown 1,000 feet into the air and was partially atomized?
When you say ship are you referring to the noun described in the Merriam Webster dictionary et al? Are you saying 325,000 gross tonnage, which is dimensionless, or weight? (I thought the largest ship about 1945 was around 90,000 GT) Are you referring to pre-Atomic BOMB explosions (1945)? Are you talking about international feet, survey feet or something else? When you say air, do you mean up into the atmosphere from the ground? When you say partially atomized what percentage? When you say atomized do you mean broken into mist size particles, individual atoms, or parts of an atom including neutrons, electrons and protons? The term is often used just referring to tiny particles not atomic sizes.
