Another factor in the surrender was the Japanese had intelligence that a third bomb was to be dropped on Tokyo. (That intelligence later turned out to be false.)

One bomb could have been all that America had. Two bombs meant more were coming.

That's not logic bud.

Zero bombs could mean that was all America had. If you can make one then you can make two.

The Germans and Japanese each managed to build only one super battleship - the Bismarck and the Yamato.

The bomb was even more expensive to develop, and the Japanese (with their own bomb program) surely knew that.

Japan built two Yamato-class battleships, the Yamato and the Musashi.
