The Mark 13 nuclear bomb and its variant, the W-13 nuclear warhead for Redstone ballistic missile and Snark cruise missile, were experimental nuclear weapons developed by the United States from 1951 to 1954. The Mark 13 design was based on the earlier Mark 6 nuclear bomb design, which was in turn based on the Mark 4 nuclear bomb and the Mark 3 nuclear bomb used at the end of World War II.
