    A large naval aircraft carrier is positioned in open ocean waters while a massive underwater explosion detonates nearby, sending a towering column of white water and spray high into the air. This appears to be 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 detonations. The vessel displays a hull number visible on its island superstructure, consistent with a U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

    USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) successfully completed the second of three scheduled explosive events for Full Ship Shock Trials (FSST), July 16, 2021. The shock trials are designed to demonstrate the ship’s ability to withstand the effects of nearby underwater explosion and retain required capability. Ford is underway in the Atlantic Ocean for required inspections and preparation for the third FSST explosive event, scheduled for later this month.

    The image shows a large aircraft carrier positioned on the right side of the frame in open ocean waters. To the left of the carrier is a low-lying white atoll or sandbar barely visible above the waterline. The scene is set under a partly cloudy sky with calm, deep blue seas.
