 The "Operation Fishbowl" nuclear tests were originally planned to be completed during the first half of 1962 with three tests named "Bluegill, Starfish" and "Urraca".The first test attempt was delayed until June.Planning for "Operation Fishbowl", as well as many other nuclear tests in the region, began rapidly in response to the sudden Soviet announcement on August 30, 1961 that they were ending a three-year moratorium on nuclear testing.
