  Science Fair Projects - B57 nuclear bomb
The B57 nuclear bomb was a low-yield tactical nuclear weapon used by the United States during the Cold War.
The B57 was produced in six versions (mods) with explosive yields ranging from 5 to 20 kilotons.
The B57 was produced from 1963 to 1967.

 Nuclear Depth Bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Nuclear Depth Bomb (NDB) is the nuclear equivalent of the conventional depth charge and is used in Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) for attacking submerged submarines.
Due to the use of a nuclear warhead of much greater explosive power than that of the conventional depth charge, the Nuclear Depth Bomb considerably increases the likelihood of the destruction of the attacked submarine.
Because of this much greater power some NDB's feature a variable yield, whereby the explosive energy of the device may be varied between a low setting for use in shallow or coastal waters, and a high yield for deep water open-sea use.

 B57 nuclear bomb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It had a streamlined casing capable of withstanding supersonic flight speeds.
After 1968 the weapon became known as B57 rather than Mk 57.
