Best Answer

Three atomic bombs were constructed by USA towards the end of WW2. They were tested in an operation called Trinity - the test detonation of the bomb called Gadget (in New Mexico). This was followed by the dropping of Little Boy (Hiroshima) the second and Fat Man (Nagasaki) the third.

A fourth was finished just before the surrender on the 14th and shipped to San Francisco, arriving on the 18th for shipment by air to tinnian island, but was returned to Los Alamos. Production plans and facilities were ready to deliver 20 more to Japan by the end of 1945 if needed.
