never been interested in such a weapon. The smallest weapon ever tested by
the US was the UCRL Swift device in 1956.
I think the Davy Crockett round they tested in the early 60s was
actually smaller than that, I think it had a yield of around 20t (but I
could be wrong).
The W-54 Davy Crockett was bigger, but not by much. The Swift had a higher
yield of 190 tons, though. The Swift was never actually deployed. The W-54
is the smallest bomb ever deployed by the US.
