 Early in the Savage 's career , squadrons would typically deploy a detachment to Naval Air Station Port Lyautey , Morocco , for service with the Sixth Fleet and fly the bombers aboard aircraft carriers that were already deployed to the Mediterranean as needed . The plan was that the Savages would then be loaded with atomic bombs already aboard the carriers and launched once the carriers were in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea . The tactic to deliver the bombs was to fly at low level through Bulgaria and Romania before climbing at maximum power to the proper altitude to release the bomb . The aircraft would then perform a wingover maneuver and dive to low altitude , keeping the tail of the aircraft aimed at the target to avoid serious damage from the shock wave of the explosion .
