What did the US test in 1945 at Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands?

Nothing.

The first postwar nuclear tests were the two Operation Crossroads shots in the summer of 1946 in the lagoon of Bikini Atoll. They were copies of the Fatman bomb dropped on Nagasaki and were done to test effects on Naval warships of weapons of known design and yield. The Navy was very skeptical of the ability of the new weapon to disable state of the art warships and the first bomb seemed to confirm their opinions (however this bomb was an airdrop and a mistake by the bombardier caused the bomb to significantly miss its AP) reducing the blast on the ships. But the second bomb was an underwater shot that threw ships up in the air, sunk several instantly, and so significantly contaminated many others that the Navy was unable to clean them enough to make it safe for sailors to man and operate them, so the Navy had to scuttle them. This resulted in the cancellation of the planned third bomb which was to have been an underwater shot in deep water outside the atoll. In 1962 a similar yield deep water shot was rescheduled in Operation Dominic in the Pacific southwest of San Diego.
