    Four personnel wearing red helmets with face shields and fire-protective gear are working in a confined shipboard compartment. They appear to be conducting a damage control or fire investigation drill, with investigation kit bags visible on the deck. The setting is an interior ship space with characteristic naval infrastructure including pipes, valves, and a red watertight door.

    Sailors assigned to USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) inventory repair kits during a general quarters drill, June 8, 2021. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean conducting Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST). The U.S. Navy conducts shock trials of new ship designs using live explosives to confirm that our warships can continue to meet demanding mission requirements under the harsh conditions they might encounter in battle.
