Full scale test of ASROC nuclear depth charge

 * Reason:The image is iconic. The image depicts one of the few full-scale tests of a US nuclear weapon system (as opposed to the simple test of a device without delivery system), the other being the SLBM test, shot Dominic Frigate Bird in the same year. The image conveys how a nuclear depth bomb might have been used in combat. The image conveys the immense power of even a very small nuclear weapon. Con: The image likely needs some restoration work. I am uncertain how appropriate it is to expect work needs to be performed while nominating said image.
