Bluestone was a parachute-retarded test of the XW-56X2 Prime device in a Mk-36 drop case. The device was dropped by a new crew on its first drop mission. The device was similar to that tested in Swanee and Arkansas. This test achieved the full design yield for the W-56 warhead. The mushroom cloud rose to 17,678m.
