Reply to comment by binger5 in TIL about the Kyujo Incident that occurred on Aug 14, 1945 where several Japanese officers occupied the Japanese Imperial Palace in an attempted coup of the Emperor to prevent him from surrendering to the Allies. They murdered several people and when their plot failed, they committed suicide. by ClownfishSoup

Two tests happened less than a year after Nagasaki. Considering the logistical delays of decomming/moving/mooring test articles (surplus ships), setting up observation equipment/personal in the Marshall islands, and inviting VIPs to witness, it's a distinction without substantive difference that the US "were out" of nuclear bombs after Fat Boy was dropped.
