10 July 1985 RAINBOW WARRIOR
Sunk By France In Auckland Harbor.
The USA retained control of the Marshall Islands after the end of WWII - calling this beautiful marine paradise THE TRUST TERRITORY OF THE PACIFIC ISLANDS.
Remember that word trust. - They promptly set about exploding 43 massive nuclear devices on the remote islands from 1946 to 1958. - You probably will know the name of Bikini Atoll - but how about 'Runit' ?
The United States of America relocated the small populations of islanders before destroying their homes .. the military even dug-up their dead Pacific War soldiers for re-internment before H-Bombing and completely vaporizing some small pacific islands from the map.

Runit Island was not only repeatedly nuked - but it was also used as a dump for plutonium scattered from a failed US H-Bomb .. together with 95,000 cubic yards of contaminated materials, thrown into a crater and covered with a low concrete dome.

Daily Mail Picture of RUNIT ISLAND DOME.
These heavily contaminated island test sites continue to kill both locals and US veterans today - including those servicemen ordered to 'clean up' the crap. - Some memorial tomb eh.
