    An aerial photograph shows a large aircraft carrier at sea with a massive underwater explosion detonating off its port side, producing a towering column of white water and spray. The scene appears to depict a Full Ship Shock Trial (FSST), a standard U.S. Navy testing procedure used to evaluate a warship's ability to withstand the effects of nearby underwater explosions. The ocean is calm and deep blue, providing strong contrast to the dramatic water plume.
