It was the first naval battle between two ironclads.
Yes, there were naval battles; in fact, the first ironclad ships were invented during the Civil War.

If you are referring to "the" bombs, it sounds like you're referring to the two "Atomic" bombs that were dropped on the city of Hiroshima on 06 August 1945, and Nagasaki on 09 August 1945, thus ending WWII. If your referring to the Battle of Iwo Jima (where the US flag was raised), bombs and naval guns pounded that whole island.
It was one of the Damen Stan Tug series.
The United States dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Both targets were military (Hiroshima contained a significant military HQ, and Nagasaki a substantial naval base). However, the target cities were also chosen to show off the massive amount of damage the atomic bomb could produce, which inevitably meant causing huge numbers of civilian deaths.

Nagasaki (Japan), 9 August 1945: bombarded by Americans, but the purpose was to frighten the Russians and to manifest racism against Asiatic peoples; Japan was already exhausted, no need for nuclear bombardments !
The ONLY nuclear device(s) ever used in a world war was the Hiroshima & Nagasaki atomic bombs that were dropped in August of 1945, ending WWII. Nuclear powered naval ships were used in a number of other conflicts, but not nuclear weapons.
The war to which you referred was World War II. The dropping of the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ended World War II.
