    The image shows a large aircraft carrier positioned on the right side of the frame in open ocean waters. To the left, a massive white water plume or explosion column is visible at the waterline, consistent with an underwater detonation or Full Ship Shock Trial (FSST). The sky is hazy and overcast, and the sea appears calm.

    The aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) completes the first scheduled explosive event of Full Ship Shock Trials while underway in the Atlantic Ocean, June 18, 2021. 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 harsh conditions they might encounter in battle.
