Ivy Mike, or just Mike, was the codename given to the hydrogen bomb tested on Elugelab. That was part of Eniwetok Atoll, and that was part of the Marshall Islands in the South Pacific. That was in 1952. Another bomb test named "King" was slated for that same location, but had to be tested in Runit islet.
Little Boy and Fat Man were the names of the two bombs dropped on Japan.

Some 43 nuclear tests were detonated at Enewetak from 1948 to 1958. The first hydrogen bomb test, code-named Mike, was tested on November 1, 1952. The explosion vaporized the island of Elugelab. This was done for testing.

What was the island where the US exploded the first atomic bomb?
Japan : Hiroshima & Nagasaki were the cities destroyed. I have heard also that some small Pacific islands were completely vaporized by hydrogen bomb tests during the 1950s, including Bikini Atoll and Elugelab Atoll (the swimwear got its name after the explosion destroyed the island). In addition, I recently learned that the first hydrogen bomb (fusion bomb) test in the South Pacific was about twice as powerful as scientists anticipated. Although the evacuated area was still large enough to keep anyone from being harmed by the larger blast, the extra fallout was suddenly an unanticipated threat to the people of the Marshall Islands, and the U.S. government had to rush over and start evacuating them. I don't know how much harm was done to the people of the Marshall Islands, but I do know that the Marshall Islands has a national holiday to honor its atomic victims.
What was the island hop strategy?
The Island hopping strategy was originated from Allied General Douglas MacArthur in WWII. The idea was broken down into three easy steps: 1. Bomb the Island 2. Invade the Island 3. Build an airfield to bomb the next island The reason behind Island Hopping is so the US could get close enough to Japan so they can use the Atomic Bomb to force the Japanese to surrender and end WWII on The Pacific Theater
