It's interesting that the nuclear weapons "stockpile stewardship" program supercomputers follow the US nuclear weapons testing program naming sequence: Trinity, then Crossroads. I'd guess a Trinity, then Hiroshima naming sequence never came up in meetings even though the latter was actually a test shot since the gun configuration had not been tested prior to its operational use.
National Nuclear Security Administration selects HPE Cray for Crossroads supercomputer

The US National Nuclear Security Administration has contracted HPE Cray for its next major supercomputer, Crossroads.
Hosted by Los Alamos National Laboratory, the $105m Cray EX supercomputer will be used for classified nuclear weapons research when it is delivered in the spring of 2022. It will replace the existing Trinity supercomputer, which has had its useful life extended as Crossroads was delayed due to issues with Intel's CPU roadmap.
