Also, it states,” A single bomb of the this type, carried by boat and exploded in port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory.” This tells us that the bomb is really powerful and we could get some use of it since it destroys a lot of land and territory.

He also says, ”The United States has only very poor of uranium in moderate quantities.” This shows that he put the lack of uranium united states has so they can go to other places and try getting enough for the
