Since sometime in june/july 1945. The first one detonated on july 16, 1945 (this was originally scheduled to occur on july 4, 1945 but was delayed due mostly to weather and as the type of device tested took about 3 days to assemble it was probably ready in a kit at Los Alamos by late june). Actual combat weapons shipped out from Los Alamos in july arriving on Tinnian in the pacific before the end of july. They were used on august 6 & 9, 1945.
