YAG-39 carried a wash- Each was instrumented for radiation Measurements and each carried an unmanned F4U aircraft secured to the weather deck, also instrumented for radiation measurements. The ships were unmanned during the first two shots, with control provided by P2V5 aircraft, as well as the Molala and possibly the Bairoko. During the last two shots, a crew aboard the YAG-39 in a heavily shielded control room controlled both the YAG-39 and the unmanned YAG-40, with some assistance from the P2V5 and the Bairoko. Both ships were taken to Enewetak for decontamination, with the Instrument Group boarding as soon as possible to retrieve radiation records. 192 Various operational
