Atmospheric haze works well with the depth of the scene- and wow, they are seriously big bombs!!! How much of this ship is still there? ;-)

Briney, the bombs you see dropped from the B24 bombers are M59 bombs - 1000lbs. and about 180cm in length. Wait for the next post to see them in better close-up ;) The ship wreck is still in relatively good shape since none of the bombs exploded right on it. The high level bombers missed and the low level bombers had the problem that the tail fuse did not have enough time to arm the bombs in mid flight and went to the ocean floor unexploded. (They are still there when we scuba dive!)
