Answer:

The uranium used in the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima was not transported to the Pacific by the army, but rather by the United States Navy. The uranium was transported on board the USS Indianapolis, a heavy cruiser, which delivered the materials to the island of Tinian in the Pacific. From there, the uranium was transported to the airbase where the Enola Gay was stationed and loaded onto the plane.
