| 777# From Lyle McElhaney (2014-03-11): 778# [W]hen JI was being used for that [atomic bomb] testing, the time being used 779# was not Hawaiian time but rather the same time being used on the ships, 780# which had a GMT offset of -11 hours. This apparently applied to at least the 781# time from Operation Newsreel (Hardtack I/Teak shot, 1958-08-01) to the last 782# Operation Fishbowl shot (Tightrope, 1962-11-04)....
