Analysis I reported that Seismographic evidence of an
Underwater Nuclear
Detonation off the coast of
Japan. devastating tsunamis in the
Indian Ocean in 2004 and Japan in
2011, both triggered by undersea earthquakes, underscored just how effective such a weapon could be in theory.
The archived documents detail the findings, as a team led by
Thomas Leech, an
Auckland University professor seconded to the army, carried out tests to find out what shape and size of bomb or series of bombs, detonated in water of what depth, would have the desired effect.
The idea first arose in early
1944 when a
U.S. Navy officer, in a conversation with the commander-in-chief of the
New Zealand Army, recalled that during earlier survey work in the
Pacific he had sometimes observed unexpectedly large waves during the blasting of submerged coral reefs.

Atomic Tsunami Bomb Tactical Nuclear Weapons tsunami bomb program code name
Project Seal was an attempt during
World War II to develop a tectonic weapon that could create destructive tsunamis.
The project commenced after
US Navy officer
E.A. Gibson noticed small waves generated by explosions used to clear coral reefs. The idea was developed by the
United States and
New Zealand military in a program code named Project Seal. The weapon was only tested using small Low yield nuclear weapons and never on a full scale.

Device.
The weapons concept was deemed feasible, but the weapons themselves were never fully developed or used. A related concept, the bouncing bomb was developed and used in World War II, to be dropped into water as a means to destroy
German dams and cause loss of industrial capacity and widespread flooding.

Code named Project Seal
The revelation that the United States and New Zealand carried out “tsunami bomb” tests during World War II, first made public 14 years ago when secret documents were declassified, is making headlines again after a researcher dug up more archived material.
Thousands of bombs were dropped and their effects monitored in tests around
New Caledonia – then an important
Allied base, now a special-status
French territory – and near
Auckland, New Zealand’s largest city.
The aim of the project, in the dry language of the archived documents, was “the investigation of the potentialities of inundation by means of artificially produced tidal waves for offensive purposes” – in other words, to see whether a bomb or series of bombs could generate a tsunami capable of wreaking havoc on an enemy coastal city.
Since the
New Zealand government in
1999 declassified material relating to “Project Seal,”
Early tests were promising enough for U.S. Navy
South Pacific commander
Admiral William Halsey to call for more, writing that the results, in his opinion, “show that inundation in amphibious warfare as definite and far-reaching possibilities as an offensive weapon.”
Single explosions were found to be “inefficient in the production of waves,” Leech reported in one of the archived papers.
However, “[t]he use of multiple charges located to conform with geometrical patterns was found to give markedly superior results,” he wrote, adding that factors including the shape of the charge, the spacing, and the location were all important, and that the best results occurred when explosions were adjacent to the water surface, rather than at greater depth.
Leech concluded that 2,
000 tons of high explosive, divided into ten equal amounts and detonated as a group around five miles offshore in a location where the seabed was favorable, could potentially create a wave of 30 to 40 feet.
The papers do not name a target for the envisaged weapon, but when the New Zealand government first unlocked the files in 1999 an 87 year-old survivor of the team said it was obvious to those involved that the aim was “to flood Japan.”
Leech was invited to observe atomic bomb trials in
Bikini Atoll in 1946 and, although unable to do so he did provide the
U.S. with data about placement of submerged explosives. (The second
Bikini test involved an atomic bomb suspended 90 feet below the surface of the sea, testing its effect on
Navy ships.)
That same year top
American physicist
Karl Compton, who served on a secret high-level group advising the
U.S. government on the nuclear issue and was a member of the
Naval Research Advisory Committee, visited New Zealand and examined the “Project Seal” findings. https://youtu.be/1Qep6X0NaY0
