The Monarch outpost Castle Bravo is named after the thermonuclear device detonated as part of the Operation Castle nuclear bomb tests at Eniwetok Island, Bikini Atoll. Castle Bravo was the first test of high yield thermonuclear devices and was detonated on March 1, 1954. The energy release was 2.5 times the predicted amount. That same morning, a Japanese fishing vessel known as the Daigo Fukuryu Maru (No. 5 Lucky Dragon) sailed into radiation poisoned waters and unknowingly brought back with it contaminated tuna to be sold at market; leading to multiple deaths and devastating Japan's tuna market. These events formed one of the primary influences behind the first Godzilla movie, Godzilla (1954), released later that same year in Japan.
