These islands spanned a desirable predicted-overpressrire region for the expected yield from Shot 3 ranging from heavy damage to light or no damage. It was essential that a substantial portion of the trees remain intact as a group, giving a graded series of damage to correlate with the preciously developed tree-breakage prediction system. 3 achieved basic damage data. The unexpectedly large yield of Shot 1 — blast incident from the opposite direction of Shot 3 —caused heavy damage to the tree stands on William and Victor Islands and light damage to the upper portion of the stand on Uncle Island.
