    A large naval aircraft carrier is visible on the horizon of an open ocean, positioned to the right of the frame. To the left, a massive white water plume erupts from the sea surface, consistent with an underwater explosive detonation or shock trial test. The image appears to document a Full Ship Shock Trial (FSST), a standard U.S. Navy testing procedure.

    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.
