The yield of a Tomahawk cruise missile is equivalent to 500 kg of TNT. [21] 4.54 × 10 −4: 581 MWh A real 0.454-kiloton-of-TNT (1.90 TJ) charge at Operation Sailor Hat. If the charge were a full sphere, it would be 1 kiloton of TNT (4.2 TJ). 454 tons of TNT (5 by 10 m (17 by 34 ft)) awaiting detonation at Operation Sailor Hat. 1.8 × 10 −3: ...
The blast wave spread up to 200 mi (320 km) and was estimated to have a TNT equivalent of either 200 to 240 tons or 1.3 to 1.8 kilotons of high-explosives. [ 2 ] [ 18 ] [ 11 ] Resulting fires were detected from NASA's fire monitoring systems as covering an area of approximately 13 km 2 (5 sq mi).
Tritonal is approximately 18% more powerful than TNT alone. [1] The 87 kg of tritonal in a Mark 82 bomb has the potential to produce approximately 863 MJ of energy when detonated. [1] This implies a specific energy of approximately 9 MJ/kg, compared to ~4 MJ/kg for TNT.

Diagram of a 4,000 lb HC Mark I bomb Standard American AN-M56 4,000 lb (1.8 t) general-purpose bomb. Blockbuster bombs were the RAF's high capacity (HC) bombs. Their especially thin casings allowed them to contain approximately three-quarters of their weight in explosive, with a 4,000 lb bomb (nominal weight) containing about 3,000 lb (1,400 kg) Amatol, RDX or Torpex.
According to Willmore, [52] the energy released was 1.3×10 13 J, or about 3.2 kilotons of TNT equivalent. The blast is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records under largest single explosive detonation , although Minor Scale in 1985 was larger (see below).
4.1 The Roseburg Blast: A truck carrying dynamite and 4.5 tons of ammonium nitrate caught fire early in the morning of 7 August 1959. The explosion happened at 1:14 a.m. and killed 14 people and injured 125 more. Several blocks of downtown Roseburg were destroyed. The accident is locally referred to as "The Blast".

(SC 50 Stabo) The Stabo variant is also like the Ja variant with the exception that it has a threaded lug forged to the nose of the bomb allowing for an 18.5 inches (470 mm) steel spike which is 1.8 inches (46 mm) in diameter to be secured to the lug which allows the bomb to detonate above ground, typically at a height of a person.
