This documentary explores the final mission of the USS Arkansas, a legendary battleship that served the United States Navy with distinction for over thirty years. From the cold waters of the North Sea to the historic bombardment of Normandy, the Arkansas proved her worth against the Germans before moving to the Pacific to face the Japanese at Iwo Jima and Okinawa. However, her greatest challenge did not come from a foreign enemy, but from the dawn of the atomic age.

In 1946, the Arkansas was selected for Operation Crossroads, a massive and controversial scientific experiment at Bikini Atoll. Alongside dozens of other vessels, including the captured Japanese battleship Nagato, she was subjected to the terrifying power of nuclear weapons. We examine the strategic decisions, the technical preparations, and the heartbreaking moment this veteran of the sea was lost to a massive underwater explosion. Join us as we uncover the history of a ship that bridged the gap between traditional naval warfare and the nuclear era.
