Default USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) has begun shock trials

Full Ship Shock Trials (FSSTs) on video from the air and from the carrier as they occur in close proximity to the ship. This activity tests everything onboard from computer systems to nuclear reactor elements to sensor systems to crew support elements.

The ships' systems and crew has to be ready for major damage and their ability to respond to that potentiality is part of the testing evolution

Combat survivability.

Navy Service A Equipment required.
Shock Qualified, No substitutions or modifications allow without engineering approvals.

CVN-78 "Integrity at the Helm"

After 40 years of working on CVA/CV/CVN (SSN/SSBN/SSGN) (CG/CGN) (AO/AOE) classes I will miss out ever turning a wrench on her.

Someone posited whether these tests had anything to do with the building collapse in Surfside, FL last night. I have no idea, but kind of coincidental.

----Salt water used for mixing with concrete. Has been outlawed for awhile, but builders back awhile ago just figured "hey, water right here". Salt water concrete and iron rebar-----not a good combo!......Bill S

----They are not to my knowledge saying anything yet, but it is a problem with older condos on or near the beach. We will see how it plays out! My buddies condo on the beach in Oakland Park has had its balconies done over twice. He said that's enough and sold about 5 years ago!......Bill S

When rebar rusts it expands. That causes the concrete to crack.
