Stuart, a request.

Is it possible for you to repost that bomb stockpile information for the early years of the U.S. nuclear programme that you released here a long time ago, but I believe was lost to the archives during the move?

"The interest of the world's history hung trembling in the balance. Oriental despotism, a world united under one lord and sovereign, on the one side, and seperate states, insignificant in extent and resources, but animated by free individuality, on the other side, stood front to front in array of battle. Never in history has the superiority of spiritual power over material bulk, and that of no contemptible amount, been made so gloriously manifest." - GWF Hegel on the Battle of Salamis.

Weapons marked with * are fusion devices; others are fission or boosted fission.

This brings us up to the end of the 1950s with the Mark 27 being the last of the 1950s era weapons. Data from this point on is classified.

I did a table of this as well but it won't come up formatted properly.
