US aircraft carrier damaged by powerful test explosion

Military sources report damage sustained by a US aircraft carrier during a test explosion. A test explosion near the USS Gerald Ford, as part of a stress test, could have damaged the aircraft carrier. Such information appeared in foreign and Russian media. According to the data presented, the aircraft carrier could have received some damage as a result of a water hammer, since the explosion turned out to be so powerful that, in fact, comparable to the size of the aircraft carrier itself. Information regarding the damage sustained by the American aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford "is indirectly confirmed not only by the data of Russian and American sources, but also by the absence for the second day of official comments and reports from the command of the US Navy. Experts note that such a powerful explosion could really damage the hull of an American aircraft carrier, since it was produced from a submerged position. “A powerful water hammer could well have damaged an aircraft carrier. Without such tests, not a single test of aircraft carriers is carried out, however, this time the American experts could well have "overdone" and did not take into account a number of factors, including the comprehensive orientation of the explosion produced in the water ", - the analyst notes.
