Interesting enough, Nagato was sunk in 1952 by "normal" fission nuclear bomb, two years before Godzilla was (in his original film) exposed to radiation from a thermonuclear bomb or what we more commonly know as fusion-fission bombs, hydrogen bombs or simply H-bombs.

Oops my bad, there is an 8 year difference, Nagato sunk in 1946. Godzilla would be exposed to in 1954.

But interesting enough Nagato would go through two nuclear bombs before sinking and the one that made Godzilla were all tested in the same place, the Bikini Atoll of the Marshall Islands.

The reason they tie Godzilla to the 1954 tests and not the 1946 tests Nagato went through is because they find traces of Strontium-90 in Godzilla's footprints, a byproduct of hydrogen bombs.
