United States, we used only the first 2 of the 23 atomic bombs already scheduled for production before the end of 1945.

Once the war ended though the production line was soon shutdown to make needed repairs for unexpected problems beginning to develop. By the time of Operation Crossroads in the summer of 1946 we had actually only made 9 atomic bombs, 5 of which had been detonated (Gadget, Little Boy, Fatman, Able, Baker), leaving a total stockpile of just 4 atomic bombs.

Why the US use an atomic bomb to end the war in the pacific?

Japan refused to surrender. Japan did not believe in surrender, and hated people who did surrender instead of dying to the last person. Pres. Truman dropped two atomic bombs on Japan and Japan surrendered. It was either two atomic bombs or invasion of Japan. Invasion of Japan would mean that the war would last another year and kill a lot more people than the atomic bombs did. Japan surrendered after Nagasaki was bombed, not after Hiroshima. It was either the atomic bombs or invasion. Atomic bombs were the lesser of two evils.

Should atomic weapons ever be used?

No. The two used in WWII were not necessary. The Japanese were already trying to figure out how to surrender. The Americans were just impatient and had this shiny new toy they wanted everybody to know they had. Second Answer: The atom bomb was used to "save millions of lives" and to motivate the Japanese military to surrender. It is not correct that the Japanese Military and governing body were trying to figure out how to surrender. They were not willing to surrender. There was even a plot to stop the Emperor Hirohito from surrendering. The plot failed thankfully. Hirohito saw the total destruction done by two atomic bombs. He knew the US could have more. However, he was more afraid of the million strong Red Army fighting the Japanese in Manchuria and were coming to the main island of Japan. The bombs were motivation for Hirohito but he admitted it was the Red Army that scared and motivated him more. He had taken a vow to protect Japan. So he chose to surrender (atom bombs or not, Red Army or not). His problem was the Japanese Military staunch idea of NEVER surrendering. He told them he had to save Japan because of his sacred vow. Another concept people need to think of when considering weather or not the atomic bombs should have been used. The Japanese had created nuclear dirty bombs and were working to make large atomic bombs. The Germans had started out to create some atomic bombs but ended up helping Japan. Therefore many Americans are extremely glad the Americans finished the race to make the atomic bombs because they would have been used by Japan or Germany. A million Allied Forces were extremely grateful not to have to invade the main island of Japan.
