Having served on the commissioning crew of the SSBN Nevada, and meeting some of the earlier Nevada crew (including Pearl Harbor crew), the ship survived both nuclear tests and was later sunk near the islands of Hawaii. I remember we had a burial at Sea above the hull from a couple of former crew members.

Then they missed the target by nearly half a mile.
Early atomic weapons were notoriously inaccurate. Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Crossroads-Able test all missed their targets badly. Even the concrete filled Pumpkin test bombs rarely came close to hitting their targets in practice.
The problems were many fold. The bombs were dropped from extremely high altitude of more than 30,000 feet to give the bombers time to turn away and escape. The aerodynamics of the Fatman Mark 3 bombs were terrible. It was basically a 10,000 pound bolling ball 5 feet in diameter with too small of a tail attached. The Norden bombsight wasn't nearly as accurate as the propaganda portrayed, especially above 10,000 feet.
But as they say, close only counts in horseshoes and nuclear weapons.
