Command briefings at 1830 and at midnight confirmed the favora le weather predictions for shot time.

The forecast fallout pattern, bas@d on

the midnight briefing, is shown in Figure 85.

The task force flee

was

located east-southeast of ground zero at 25 to 35 nmi

(46 to 65 km] * rad-

safe recommended that the slower ships move to 50 nmi

(93 km) on a bearing

of 120° and that the other ships move south after the H-hour firing

re-

quirements were completed.
