U.S. Navy Conducts Explosive Full-Ship Shock Trials Near The Aircraft Carrier USS Gerald R. Ford

Daily Mail: PICTURED: Navy fires thousands of pounds of explosives near USS Gerald R. Ford, creating a blast equivalent to a 3.9 magnitude earthquake to test the carrier's ability to 'take a hit' in battle

* USS Gerald R. Ford, the first of a new class of carrier, was struck by the blast about 100 miles off the coast of Florida around 4pm Friday

* It was the first full-ship shock trial to prove the carrier's ability in battle at sea

* The US Geological Survey registered a blast of a 3.9 magnitude earthquake

* The Navy said it had been a success, tweeting that it proved 'our warship can "take a hit" and continue our mission on the cutting edge of #NavalAviation!'

* The trial marked the first in more than three decades on a Navy carrier

* Shock trials involve detonating explosives close to the vessel to simulate how it would perform in a 'near miss' incident where explosives strike close by

The Navy has fired thousands of pounds of explosives at one of its aircraft carriers, creating a blast equivalent to a 3.9 magnitude earthquake, to test its wartime abilities.

USS Gerald R. Ford, the first of a new class of carrier, was struck by the blast about 100 miles off the coast of Florida around 4pm Friday.

The explosive event was the first in a series of full-ship shock trials to prove whether the carrier can take a hit during battle at sea and marked the first shock trial in more than three decades on a Navy carrier.
