""Able"" and ""Baker"" are the first two letters of the Joint Army/Navy Phonetic Alphabet, used from 1941 until 1956. ""Alpha"" and ""Bravo"" are their counterparts in the current NATO phonetic alphabet. ""Charlie"" is the third letter in both systems. According to eyewitness accounts, the time of detonation for each test was announced as H or ""How"" hour; in the official JTF-1 history, the term M or ""Mike"" hour is used instead.

"NATO phonetic alphabet The NATO phonetic alphabet, officially denoted as the International Radiotelephony Spelling Alphabet, and also commonly known as the ICAO phonetic alphabet, and in a variation also known officially as the ITU phonetic alphabet and figure code, is the most widely used radiotelephone spelling alphabet. Although often called ""phonetic alphabets"", spelling alphabets are unrelated to phonetic transcription systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Instead, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) alphabet assigned codewords acrophonically to the letters of the English alphabet, so that critical combinations of letters and numbers are most likely to be pronounced and understood"

By 1921, the RAF ""Telephony Spelling Alphabet"" had been adopted by all three armed services, and was then made mandatory for UK civil aviation, as announced in Notice to Airmen Number 107. In 1956, the NATO phonetic alphabet was adopted due to the RAF's wide commitments with NATO and worldwide sharing of civil aviation facilities.

The NATO alphabet appeared in some United States Air Force Europe publications during the Cold War. A particular example was the Ramstein Air Base, Telephone Directory published between 1969 and 1973 (currently out of print). The USA and NATO versions had differences and the translation was provided as a convenience. Differences included Alfa, Bravo and Able, Baker for the first two letters.

"M M (named ""em"" ) is the thirteenth letter of the modern English alphabet and the ISO basic Latin alphabet. The letter M is derived from the Phoenician Mem, via the Greek Mu (Μ, μ). Semitic Mem is most likely derived from a ""Proto-Sinaitic"" (Bronze Age) adoption of the ""water"" ideogram in Egyptian writing. The Egyptian sign had the acrophonic value , from the Egyptian word for ""water"", ""nt""; the adoption as the Semitic letter for was presumably also on acrophonic grounds, from the Semitic word for ""water"", ""*mā(y)-"". The letter represents the bilabial nasal consonant sound in the orthography"

With the ultimate goal of clarity, especially in circumstances where signals can be garbled, the use of the word ""Ocean"" seems to be advantageous in the radio communication of the letter ""O"" because it begins with the long, clear vowel ""O"". The phonetic words ""Ida"" and ""Union"" feature this same advantage. However, spelling alphabets seem to rarely use initial long vowels.

The elections were marred by violence that was criticized by NATO members.
