§ Mr. Stratton Millsasked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty how far away from the two atomic explosions in Japan in 1945 H.M.S. "Implacable" was; and how close the ship, and aeroplanes from the ship, subsequently went to the area of contamination.
§ Mr. HayOn 6th August 1945 H.M.S. "Implacable" was 740 miles from Hiroshima; bad weather precluded operational flying. She did not move any closer during, the next few days, and on 9th August, 1945, the ship was 800 miles and her aircraft 660 miles from Nagasaki. During the following week H.M.S. "Implacable" proceeded to Manus, her course taking her even further away from the area of the explosions.
