Specific subtropes:

'''Nukes by country'''

What is counted in the nuclear weapons listings:
* All deployed systems designed solely for nuclear use
* All aircraft, missiles etc. with nuclear capability, or a nuclear capable variant.
* Any planned nuclear-capable platform that did not enter service or entered service in a non-nuclear form only if it was obviously intended for a nuclear capability. Therefore the ''Seawolf''-class attack sub is included in UsefulNotes/SuperiorFirepower as it was a UsefulNotes/ColdWar design intended for nuclear-use. The ''Virginia'' design occurred afterwards, so isn't. The same applies with Russian carriers- ''Admiral Kuznetsov'' is included, the new planned carriers are not. If a ship was laid down, it's included.
* Confirmed future nuclear weapons projects.
* All ASROC-capable warships developed before 1989.

Platforms that did not enter service in a nuclear role are listed in [Square brackets].

When the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki showed just [[WeaponOfMassDestruction what effect they had]], they became an integral part of culture.

->''"We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Literature/BhagavadGita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another."''

The use of atomic bombs in fiction started as soon as the possibilities of splitting the atom became known - Creator/HGWells first used the term in fiction in 1914, three decades before their invention.[[note]]Wells also predicted the submarine-launched ballistic missile and its strategic implications in 1933's ''Literature/TheShapeOfThingsToCome''.[[/note]]
